just got a new imac 27 inch, there is a small black spot in the lower
left hand corner.
i thought it was a dead pixel but when i look sideways across the monitor it
appears to be raised out from where the screen image is being drawn.
from the side
i can see the image underneath the glass and it is complete not
blocked by the dot that appears
looking at the monitor from the sitting position


what could this be?

Something to be ignored. Try to accept the low quality of the Lucky
Goldstar LCD's.

Turn the monitor off. Look carefully at the spot in lower left to
se if you can see anything. Use a torch at different angles.

Report back here. I am assembling an emergency team right now and
the jet is being warmed up. There is no time to be lost.

Yes, of course, don't go and use a blowtorch... or hang on ...
that *could* be interesting! If you (OP) do, make utterly sure
you report back here.

yea i can see it with the monitor off. cant be a dead pixel then so i guess its
just some fleck in the glass or even something caked on. not gonna
start scraping at it.
