Apple iMac 24" Screen issue

Hi -

We have two 24" Glossy iMac and the displays on both have begun to show, (what I can only describe as stains) that make it appear as if there is a layer of dust them although there is not. They are streaks here and there and being a photographer it is becoming quite an issue. These streaks look like shadows and make working in photoshop frustrating. Any ideas on the why's and the how to's?

Thanks!

-   I have the same problem and I am also a photographer. I am finding it increasingly difficult to edit as there are dark fingerprint sized patches of fog under the screen, about 3 cm in. Help! -   blackjake

-   Same story as Mishko here..
Imac 24" and stain problems FOR SURE ON THE INSIDE of the screen.
Stains look a bit like fingerprints.

-   I have light gray streaking resembling star trails along the top center portion of the screen. I started noticing the problem when the machine was about a year old. -   sing809

you are not alone. its not that hard to clean. really you need the cloth that came with the screen...most people throw it out. and all you do is dab it with a bit of water and gently massage the screen. and it looks as good as new. if you dont still have the cloth use a very silky delicate piece of cloth. if it is underneath the screen (very unlikely) take it back to the shop you baught it for and if it is an apple store then they will most probably clean it for free. 
also do the stains look like the are on the inside or outside? and, do they move at all?
if you took a picture of your screen and posted it on here. i will be able to give you a better idea on how to.. fix ya

One year old, 24" Glossy iMac and the display have begun to show 'shadow or fog' on the upper central part of the screen, that make it appear as if there is a layer of dust them although there is not. I tried to clean when remove protection, but still is foggy.

Light grey streaking along the top center of the display resembles star trails. The machine is about a year old.

It <i>looks</i> like it's dust - I suspect it's more from excessive temperatures inside the case. If you load iStat or AMBIE you can check the temperatures reported by the various sensors. My power supply was showing 81oC and the upper left of the casing was extremely hot to touch. I fear the possibility of fire so I'm turning mine off when I'm not in front of it.
