We, the undersigned, request that Apple Inc. officially acknowledge and address the defect in their LCD Displays. The defect causes vertical lines (cyan/yellow/pink) to appear cutting through the screen and multiplying as time goes by. Unfortunately, the problem starts to appear right after the end of the one year warranty. This problem has been filling up the Apple's online discussion forum and with no possible solution. We are the loyal Apple fans and would love to see Apple show its appreciation by stepping up to this issue.

    • My daughter loves her iMac but the pink line down her 17" iMac display and the lack of response from Apple has disappointed her. I thought Apple had her as a customer for life--this may change that.

    • It was back in July 2007, i've just had my logic board replaced and a week later, a white vertical line appeared, until now there are 7 vertical lines. Again, went to have it checked, now the technician says its the LCD display, but the Power is ok. i bought my Imac last Nov 2005. i hope Apple address this problem.

    • This is the kind of problem Apple ought to fix, extended warranty or no. I will not spend in excess of $500 to replace a 17" display. It's back to Dell, if this problem doesn't get addressed.
