Bigger problem than the 27in iMac's...
I've got an older 24in iMac and an even older 17in MBP (both Intel), and I've noticed graphics problems ever since I started using SL. While the fix for the 27in might be drivers for the graphics cards, I think the problem lies deeper than this patch....

Someone will have to investigate the package contents. I'm at work and it's all Windows here.
i just tried that, the installation came back and said Alert "your computer does not need this update"
this is alot of work so many of you have to go through in order to deal.
Many of us are wishing for that "mythical Midrange power Mac"
if only apple would sell a nicely powered mid range tower with upgradability and you can bring your own display or buy an apple one.
many of us who love Matte finish would sadly be forced to buy a different brand.

Same with my i7, very slight tinge but still annoying. Though I would guess it's a defect in the screen itself and not something that is fixable by software.. sadly.
Well, fingers crossed it is. But i've pretty much given up hope now. Really don't want to be dragging around the 27" box through a busy lakeside shopping centre during january sales just to exchange the thing!

I hope its finally okay to buy a 27" iMac. The recent ones are the only ones to really grab my attention. If only I could afford the i5 one.
I didn't have flickering before this update, now after it, I've noticed my screen flutters slightly when the brightness is all the way down. Frack. Nice one Apple.
Has anyone else without issues downloaded this update? I've got an i5 that's been flawless thus far, and don't really want to tempt fate by downloading an unneeded firmware update.
Any thoughts by those more versed than I?
peace,

How long has the yellow tinge issue been going on with the screens on iMacs? 2-3 years?
