Full FeedApple Ignores iMac Display Problems
Apple today closed a thread on it’s own discussion forums regarding problems with it’s aluminum iMac’s display.
The thread [link], titled “Bought new iMac Faded Display,” talked about the seemingly common problem with 20” displays: an uneven gradient so that one side of the screen has a noticeably different tint from the other. Apple locked the thread with no explanation. Many other posts regarding iMac problems are disappearing as well, case in point this one talking about the screen gradient, are simply being deleted, and trying to access them results in an error message.
The thread does look like it took a turn towards some personal attacky stuff at the bottom, but to completely lock this thread and delete most others that talk about problems with the products is not good practice. What are the forums for, rave reviews? The Hot News section is for self-promotion, Apple.
This is definietely not the first time Apple has closed threads regarding product issues. There were many closings around Leopard’s release, though fairly useless posts exclaiming how great Leopard was were left alone.
