The best way to remove an iMac screen (2012 through 2020 models)

Hello everyone! Firstly, I would like to apologize for the camera quality - I slapped something together really quick from what I have, and well... There is much room for improvement.
Recently in a few support groups, we have seen quite a few people asking about the right way to remove an iMac screen. Some people say razor blades, playing cards, alcohol, heat, spatulas, more alcohol… So, we got to thinking. Lets make a video on the proper way to do it.

- Someone has pointed out how nervous it makes them seeing the weight of the screen on the pizza cutter at the 6:45 mark. This is indeed not a good practice. You mad damage your screen depending on how it is touching the glass. I, for this video, made sure to have the plastic touching the backlight metal plate on the back of the screen assembly, not the glass. That could spell disaster if you are supporting the screen by its glass with one point of contact!

I am having to do this to my 2019 imac that i payed £2000 at the time for, i hate that i cant clean inside, it keeps over heating, i have literally just had the pizza cutter around the screen now just prepping a safe place before i take it completely off, £2000 and all this trouble to clean it !! This is the first and last imac i will buy, yes performance and everything is excellent but the risk i have to go through to clean it is crazy... Thanks for the video 👍

Great video, thank you. Do you think you can do this with a stanley knife or do I need to actually buy and wait for the tool to arrive?

Does this come with the glass panel or is only the screen?

How do you know if your screen is glued or magnet?
