Apple Imac 17" LCD defects, dead colourful lines!

I have had a couple of iMacs with LCDs that gets defective after the 1st year warranty is over. Apple is ignoring the hardware quality problem. Go to this online petition to get Apple to do something-> http://www.petitiononline.com/maclines/petition.html

Lesson learnt: Get Applecare! Will save you time and frustration.
