Hi Wamuggers,
Our iMac G5 20" took a swan dive recently. The display is still
working, but there is some kind of damage at the top of the screen
that shows two ink-blot style marks bleeding down from the top of the

Hi Glenn,
Of course you could just replace the machine (the new ones do look good)
but then you would be stuck with an otherwise good machine that has a
very low resale value.
However the damage to your screen certainly appears to be just the LCD

Hi Glen,
Another option if you want to move up to a nice intel iMac but can't quite
spring for the price of the new models (beautiful & excellent value as they
are!) is that stock of the previous model iMacs seems to being cleared at
much reduced prices (I noticed a 24" "was $2499" "now $1699" re
Hi Glen,
Neil is correct. If any resellers have stock, Apple have reduced all iMacs
by around $700. We have our last 24" iMac in the store which is now $1698.
The stock of our 'old' iMacs got snapped up in a couple of days. We have a
27" iMac next to the 24" and you can see the difference in the
Thanks everyone for all the information, I can see the main options are:
- contents insurance
- external monitor circa $400
- get a new iMac (or a new 'old' iMac)

Hi Glen,
FYI. Had a look at the G5 LCD screen prices. Without the serial number I

(plus labour) depending on your specific model.
Cheers,

Although there's no comparison in quality you can get a 20" BenQ LCD
for around $150 and a 23.5" for around $230. Perhaps you'd be better
off getting one of those and using your distorted iMac screen as a
secondary monitor.

The 2nd monitor option certainly seems a much better way to get the
machine going than a screen repair.
