    Does anyone else's iMac have a crooked screen?

    I just got my third LCD iMac a few weeks ago (a 1ghz 17"), and when I got it home, I noticed that the screen is crooked. It's only off by 2 or 3 degrees, and I probably wouldnt have noticed it if I didn't have something hanging on the wall behind it. Does Apple cover this under warranty?

    First, make sure the item on the wall is not crooked. Sometimes walls are the culprit. Not all walls and corners are straight.
    If it bothers you to the point of no return, take it in or call Apple. It's under warranty

    I put a builders level on it to make sure. The manager @ the local apple store said to bring it in, they just have to tighten a few screws.

    My old iMac was crooked. I just lived with it though. It was a widely acknowledged problem with the 15" iMacs...I didn't know it was also present in the 17" systems though.

    It doesn't bother me, I'm just worried about it become loose over time.
