[QUOTE="Casualguy393, post: 1603690, member: 332704"] Chscag, thanks for your reply. I hadn't heard about the display problems until now, but I think my problem is more of an issue of the tool bar being in the same place most of the time as opposed to a bad screen. Johnodd4, actually, my iMac was a refurb, with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB. The burn marks are barely noticeable. I have been using the energy saver and screen saver for about the past 3 years, but I do use my iMac quite a bit so it has done me pretty well for over 5 years. Replacing the screen for $150 will give me at least another 2-3 years with it instead of plonking down $2K for a new 27" which is quite steep for my purposes and won't really benefit me work-wise other than the "WOW" factor. So, I am just considering jumping on a great local Craigslist deal for a 24" Apple display if the screen from the 24" Apple display can be pulled and installed on the iMac easily. I have seen 24" iMac replacement screens on Ebay and other sites for about $200 with shipping, but I can essentially walk to the location of the 24" Apple Display in 10 minutes and save $50 if it is simply a plug and play swap.
