My iMac M1 screen failed like many others …. 0 support from Apple Australia … 4 years old … 1200 dollar quote - appalled 😔

Original Title: imac m1 chip screen failure
iMac 24″, macOS 15.6
As there are no Apple employees participating in these fellow user-supported, public communities, why share your misery with us? We can do nothing for you.
A four-year old M1 iMac has no warranty coverage, so you know what to do…
Because other members of this community have requested that this issue be reported in this community. It does function as a community knowledge/issue forum and knowing that this is an ongoing common issue for these iMacs would suggest that it is a design/manufacturing fault. Having owned very many desktops starting with the 128k in '84 ... screen failure like this is completely new to me ... but I'm not just 'unlucky' ... this community tells me I'm not. I did have extended Apple Care ... but it ran out ... thanks

you can let them know using their feedback channel
you can try asking official resellers / apple stores or the likes for repair options
Apple Display Repair and Service - Apple Support
you can try reaching out to unofficial apple repair places in your country
or you can try to see if you can repair it yourself iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Display Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide

You have 3 options
1 - pay the $1200 AUD to have it fixed.
2 - get a second monitor and use it.
3 - accept the loss and get a 10 Core Mac Mini M4 with 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD ($999 US + tax) with a 27" LG 4k monitor ($250 US + tax from Amazon.com) is $1249 US + tax which is $560 less than a similarly configured new 24" iMac ($1799 US + tax) re 07/2025.
I got the same Mac Mini M4 but with a 32" LG 4K monitor w/speakers for only $60 US more. Don't know what your sources are down under for monitors but it should be better than $1200 AUD.

That’s what extended warranties are for.
What
? to cover a clear design/manufacturing fault?
Thanks! My thoughts as well.
How do I fix my iMac M1 screen failure?
