I received my week number 49 last week.
There is a SLIGHT yellow tinge on the bottom half, but it's really not that noticeable unless you actually look for it, and it doesn't bother me. Honestly, if I never read about the problem on here, I wouldn't have even noticed. I have had no other issues whatsoever, so I'll deal with the very slight tinge, in order to keep an otherwise perfect machine.

Exactly the same case for me, week 49, very slight yellowish tint but everything else is rock solid. I will be keeping mine as well.
Day 16 and my week 47 i7 is still perfect. Has no symptoms of any problems. Guess I'm fortunate or there are not as many problems compared to the total number produced as some would infer. No matter, if something arises Apple will fix it with no hassles unlike personal experiences with 1 other PC company who wanted "me" to ship a new out of the box PC with problems when I had paid for 24 hour in home service

Depending on how busy your local store is and how many of the quad they are selling, they could have models that go back to week 48/49. I wouldn't assume just because week 50's are shipping online that you will get on in the store; you might but it isn't guarenteed.
Well, mine isn't perfect.
It has some flaws, but they're not so bad. I'm going to give it a little time and then decide. I'm too "wowed" by the 27" display, pretty aluminum enclosure, and black chrome Apple logos.
details can be found in the yellow tinge test thread.

i just received my week 50 and, fearing the worst, am relieved to find that the only yellowing i see when administering the grey bar test seems to disappear when i view that part of the screen straight on.

I ordered an i5 nov 27. Shipped dec 10. It's a week 48 machine. You'd think that since people have recieved their week 49 iMacs several days ago that I'd either have a newer unit, or would have gotten it a long time ago. Something weird is going on with that....
Got my week 50 model yesterday, Maaannn this machine is impressive. It is dead silent and very quick, and it is HUUGGEEEE. I immediately checked for the yellow tinge and at first I saw nothing, but then I realized one of the grey boxes did seem a fraction of a smidget lighter than the top. It is so faint that I would have never of known it was there if it hadn't of been for this site informing me to check for it. I also had a brief viewing of the flickering screen issue until I was instructed to update my software. i haven't seen the flickering since the update. As of right now I am glad I purchased this computer and I definitely feel it was worth the investment.
