[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1750921, member: 56379"] The first post says "fit myself as the computer is out of warranty". When someone says this...I assume they are actually doing the replacement themself. If a local non-Apple shop did the work...then the shop did the repair.;) Thanks for clarifying.:) Here is a curious detail I came across. If you go to Everymac.com...and look up the spec's for this model (27" 5k iMac Late 2014): [url]http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i5-3.5-27-inch-aluminum-retina-5k-late-2014-specs.html[/url] You will see that the native resolution of the internal display = 5120 x 2880. Maximum resolution for an external display = 3840 x 2160. Exactly what you're seeing in the "About This Mac" info in image #1 above. A curious coincidence. Maybe the computer thinks this is an external display (just a thought). - Nick p.s. Did you try the two resets I mentioned? [/QUOTE]
