I have an awful feeling you are right. Thanks to all for the advice.

Yep, the dots are the individual pixels. I'm afraid I think I may be correct. If it's still under warranty or if you have Applecare which hasn't run out, it will be covered. If it's not and you don't then speak to Apple, they may do something for you.

The line remains blue and is visible no matter what application is
being used. On close inspection it is made up of tiny blue dots -
therefore not a solid line but having the appearance of a solid line.
It's b****y irritating as you might imagine.

Without seeing it, it sounds like it could be a line of dead pixels.
If it is, I don't think there's a way of getting rid of them other
than having the screen replaced (lot's of £).

Do they stay there when if you change the colour of the screen. ie
change the desktop picture to different colors?

Subject: [sussex_mug] poorly iMac


Moved my iMac yesterday, packed it carefully in its packaging and set
it up in a friend's house. Everything worked as it should but when
the
computer had been on a number of hours, a thin blue vertical line
became apparent about an inch from the left hand side of the screen. This morning the line was there from switch-on. Anybody got any ideas as to the cause and more importantly a possible solution. The iMac is
about two and a half years old.
