New iMac

Finally got my new 27" iMac a couple of days ago, very happy with it. One thing i have noticed though is that the apple logo at the top left of the screen is half faded. The top third is black and the bottom 2/3rds is grey. Anyone else noticed this?

Same here. I think it's meant to be like that.

It's like that on all my Macs. It got upgraded in 10.8.2, I believe anyway.

Btw, how did you notice that? I've had mine 5 weeks and never pay attention to the gradient shade of black on about 20pixels...sitting normal distance away I can't tell.

Sitting about 3 feet from the screen its as clear as day to me. Do you not hover over it with your cursor to put the mac to sleep?
