DO NOT BUY 2009-2011 iMacs
People still have yellow screens and now there is a grey smudge issue that is happening on all 2009-2011 iMacs. If it isn't currently happening to your machine, it will in the future. The hot-running hardware is too close to an improperly shielded screen. Apple has tried replacement screens with several people's iMacs, and they have had the problem again or it has gotten worse. Apple hasn't officially acknowledged the problem. But there needs to be a recall. I posted a few petitions online, one at change.org. Not sure if I can post them here, but please read up on this issue before buying these iMacs. They are defective.
