On a range of the iMac screens, even the lowest brightness setting from
Preferences is still high enought to cause eye strain. Using an app lets
you take the brightness lower than you can with Preferences alone.
If you search the web you can see the eye strain issue isn't uncommon.

Hi Glen,
Why would you need that when you can do it in System Preferences ?

Just a quick note for anyone who might have been using the Shades app to
reduce the screen brightness on their iMac(s)... I've found this really
helps avoid eye strain.
Shades didn't survive the Mavericks upgrade, but there is a two dollar app
in the App Store called ShadeIt that does the same job

Good evening all
I was at my daughters place this afternoon and noticed that a thin red line had
appeared on her iMac screen, it is on the left side about 15mm in and extends
from just below centre to the bottom of the screen. I presume this is a dead
pixel. It is a 21" iMac about 12
Hehe,
When I had this panic, it was because I had forgot I had set one corner to
black the screen out ;o)
However, I am sure you have already checked this?

That was my initial thought too David but no, not the screen
blanking/turning off to save energy. There is no way to get the screen to
display again as usually would be with energy saver.

Hi Shayne,
As far as the original receipt is concerned I believe your friend will be OK. I
have actually had a piece of hardware replaced at the Apple Store and they
didn't even ask to see the receipt. Using the serial number, their computer
records showed that the item was registered to me. I
Hi All
A fiend of mine has a problem with a 27" iMac (bought early 2009).
Occasionally the screen goes black but everything seems to keep going in
the background (music keeps playing etc).
If he turns it off (using the power button) it restarts OK then the screen
goes black again. If he turns off
I believe the lampshade has an adapter that you can
hook up an external vga monitor. Although $900AUD
doesn't sound like a horrible cost for fixing the 20"
imac. If you ever wanted to sell it, I don't think
you would get a buyer without a good screen (unless
they wanted it for parts).

I have a two and a half year old G4 iMac, lampshade model with a 20 inch
screen. Yesterday the screen went blank at start-up and I am told by the
people at Joondalup that it has gone and a replacement screen cost around
$900. I don't want to pay that amount to fix it.
The computer is working fine

Hi everyone
Firstly, some friends are thinking of switching.
They are looking to get a mac after their pc gave them yet another scare

I'd like to get them a Mac that will run OSX 'comfortably' to 'good' as
they don't have much of a budget.
Their Win 2000 PC is an Athlon 1100 mhz, 2

Hi all,
Did you perform a firmware update on the iMac before you installed OS
