I canceled my MacConnection i5 order after reading of many accounts of screen issues on the 27" iMacs on MacRumors.
I imagine they'll get these sorted out in a few months.
I've been burned previously on Rev A stumbles with the iMac G5 & MacBook.
you are going to have to wait until the next rev, 6+ months
they are *not* going to change anything in a few months, sorry.
there is absolutely *nothing* wrong with my wifes 43 month old Macbook, runs like a champ pretty much 24/7 -- we never unplug it or turn it off
Both of us can speculate what Apple may/may not do, but the fact is we can't predict Apples actions with certainty. Maybe it's a driver issue, maybe a panel issue that LG will sort out. Who knows? But at the moment I feel comfortable with my decision to wait a few months. If I get a speedbumped / cheaper iMac that'll be a bonus. If I get iLife '10, woo-hoo!
There is enough of a failure rate with these units that it is getting attention:

Obviously not all Rev A hardware is borked. My 24" Alu-iMac is still running strong.
