iMac 27 inch Flickering Screen Error Rant

I had this problem too but now its corrected. I dont think you need to get a new machine at all.

Go to Apple's online support pages and type in "Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM".

The reset is a simple procedure that can be completed in 5 minutes. Also, if you keep adjusting the contrast on your screen, it will cause the automatic sensor to misbehave. Find a contrast setting and keep it, let the Mac do the rest.

Your darn lucky then! because most of us are having the same problem and well is going back in a few. Buying it again when all of this is confirmed that is fixed
