Apple iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt)

Huge 27-inch display. 2,560-by-1,440 (larger than 1080p HD) screen resolution. High-end discrete 3D graphics. Two Thunderbolt ports. Supports two external displays. 802.11a/b/g/n 5GHz Wi-Fi. Wireless keyboard and mouse. No cost optional Magic Trackpad. No bloatware. Includes iLife suite and FaceTime HD. New ambient light sensor. Color calibrated display.

It's pricey, has a huge screen, and is as powerful as an Asgardian thunder god. If you need a graphics PC for your business, the new Apple iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt) will rival the huge tower workstations currently available. For the rest of us who don't live and die by deliverable deadlines, however, other recent all-in-one PCs out-innovate the Aluminum beast.

The Apple iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt) ($1,999 list) is the newest top-of-the-line iMac, and it adds second-generation Intel Core i processors (aka, Sandy Bridge) to Apple's class-leading all in one Mac desktops , along with Thunderbolt ports first seen on the new MacBook Pro laptops. It has that huge, beautiful high-resolution screen, killer (if aging) design, and it is fast, fast, fast. Your "Mac OS or die" art director already wants one. Still, it's not enough to unseat the HP TouchSmart 610-1065qd as our high-end all in one desktop Editor's Choice, given that the latter offers quad-core power, a touch-screen display, and an innovative screen reclining feature, all for about $200 less.

Design
On the outside, the iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt) looks just like its aluminum and glass predecessors. It has the same huge 27-inch 2,560-by-1,440 resolution display, which is formatted with a 16:9 aspect ratio and is higher resolution than the 1,920 by 1,080 required for true 1080p HD. The display is so bright that Apple added a new ambient light sensor to auto-dim the screen, so users in brightly lit studios can keep their eyes from straining when a cloud obscures the sun or if someone draws the drapes over the window. The glass panel protecting the LED-backlit LCD display is glossy, one of the few nits against the iMac 27-inch (Thunderbolt). I'd like to see a matte finish option for graphics professionals who want it. Speaking of graphics professionals, Apple color calibrates each display before shipping it to the final user. Color calibration won't necessarily be a big consideration for the average consumer, but it's a boon to the graphics artist who makes her living with the iMac.

Fix LCD Monitor ? Incredibly Effective Tips for Fixing LCD Monitors with Display Issue

Learning how to fix LCD monitor is one the hardest things in the world. It is sooo hard that I believe only people with a rocket scientist brain should attempt it…

Sorry, I’m just kidding pal

Frankly, I can’t believe how easy it is to troubleshoot LCD monitors. Sure, they’re harder to work on than CRT monitors, but hey, with the proper service manual at your disposal – repairing LCD monitors is actually a piece of cake.

Speaking of service manual, there’s one that covers every repair detail with lots of screenshots to boot. You can check it out by just clicking on this link and a new window will open for you.

Warning: The thing is downloadable and it’s 200 pages long so get your printer ready!

Anyway, I just finished repairing a few LCDs and at the moment, my repair table is… EMPTY! Yes, I’m not busy right now, so I feel like sharing a few tips to help you fix LCD monitors that are suffering from a brief display issue.

Okay, let’s get started!

Look, I get this particular issue pretty much every day. Monitor display appears for a very brief period of time before succumbing to the shutdown syndrome!

Well, It’s very easy to fix you know. First, look sharp as soon as you remove the LCD cover and internal metal casing. Keep your eyes peeled on the components situated in both inverter and main board.

Take the electrolytic capacitors for instance. Any bulged looking ones have to be replaced pronto. Bulged electrolytic capacitors are defective and even a single bulged capacitor can cause this problem.

Also, check the joints at the back circuit and connector section located between the inverter and main board. If you see one or more dry joints, then you have to address this problem by applying fresh solder.

Now, let’s say you find nothing wrong with the inverter or main board. What could be the problem then? Should we give up?

Listen; there are lots of ways to fix LCD monitors so don’t throw in the towel just yet! Perhaps you can test the pico fuse to find out if there’s any reading.
