I've seen the recall of the imac on the apple site. My imac G5 falls into the serial number category. I'm a newbie when it comes to macs, and I don't know whether my imac is affected.
They describe the problems as video/display problems/distortion.
Now my question is, what is classed as video distortion? When viewing some dvd's on my mac, I occasionally get an unclear picture. Sitting back, the picture is fine, but up close (0.25-0.5m away), it seems unclear, and as if the image is pixelly at times, instead of a perfectly still and clear image that I usually associate with DVD movies. This stops when the movie is paused.
Could somebody inform me whether this is normal for a LCD flatscreen, compared to CRT displays?
I'm tempted to send my imac back to apple to get them to have a look at it, but am unsure whether this could be classed as the "video distortion" that they talk about.
Any other imac G5 owners out there care to share their dvd viewing experiences?
Do your movies play back crystal clear? No flickering at all as described above?
Thanks guys & gals
