| DOA (won't boot) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | peon138 | The imac would chime, and appeared to boot, but the screen was completly dead. |
| Cracked glass (other location) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 2TB | stockdoc | |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | aaydogan | Outer box, inner box and all packing were in excellent shape. When I finally unwrapped everything I discovered the lower left hand corner of the glass was cracked in three places. |
| DOA (won't boot) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | YuleLogger | Would start up with no display. You could hear the start up program trying to run, but the display only brightened up a little. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | hubmonkey | When I opened it, I noticed a crack in the lower left hand corner of the screen before I had even removed the plastic sheet. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | drpixel | The lower left corner has a crack on mine. My packaging was immaculate when it arrived. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | vvo | Mine also arrived with cracked class in the lower left corner. But otherwise the system seemed to be working fine. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | johnkuo | a small crack in the lower left corner of the glass |
| DOA (won't boot) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | North Idaho | I could hear the internal fan come on, then nothing. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.66 Quad i5 1TB | ||
| DOA (won't boot) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | Mine does not turn on immediately upon pushing a power button. The unit is receiving power, however, and when I put my ear near the unit I can hear the HDD trying to start. | |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | bigdesignmachine | Unpackaged, peeled plastic off and lower left hand corner was cracked. Not over the LCD though. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | apple-mania | Crack about 4 inches around the lower left corner. External box is intact. |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | D3 Shooter | a big crack from the left bottom corner of the screen and then another from there |

| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.66 Quad i5 1TB | I was promised a replacement on priority status. Apple has twice delayed the ship-date, so now they are telling me it won't even leave the factory in Shanghai until 14 December. Almost 2 months after I placed the order. Dell has better service than that. | |

| Cracked glass (other location) | 27" 3.06 Core2Duo 1TB | DeeeGT | |
| Cracked glass (bottom left) | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | eayost | My box was totally undamaged too, so the screen crack either happened when it was put it (which you would hope would never even be shipped) or just by the force of being dropped or something. |
| Other issue | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | najicta | screen was scratched and pixels were distorted |

| Other issue | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | Would not boot from DVD / CD - general sluggish performance when reading optical media | |

| Flickering display | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | Schwa72 | The first thing that happened was that I got a black horizontal bar flash across the screen, about 10 seconds later the screen went completely black for about a second, and finally, about a minute later, my menu bar jumped to the middle of the screen. |

| Flickering display | 27" 3.06 Core2Duo 1TB | bj10au | Not only does the screen flicker intermittently and sometimes go black for a second, but on several occasions the whole screen has shifted down so the menu bar as about 1/4 of the way down from the top of the screen with the dock above it. |
| Flickering display | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | eXodusSquared | Everything was great until about 10 minutes in, the screen started to shift up about 1/2 a centimeter and made everything blurry as if it was ghosted/shrunk/distorted. It would do this on and off a few times then it stuck like that until I turned it off. |
| Flickering display | 27" 2.8 Quad i7 1TB | Simon (UK) | according to Apple, at this moment, it's not a firmware issue and they're treating it as a potential hardware problem. The directive for US and Europe is to replace any iMac that exhibits these symptoms. |
| Flickering display | 27" 2.66 Quad i5 1TB | CarpeNoctum | I got only one flickering, rebooted and never saw it again until today (12 days after purchase).
