Get it while it is hot! :D
...from Apple software updates. Just downloaded and installed it. There's no accompanying explanation as to what the update does, in terms of technicalities.

And for those who received it? is it worth the download? lol
It's strange, I have yet to apply the last firmware fix since I wasn't experiencing any problems so that is listed in Software Update as:
27-inch iMac Graphics Firmware Update Version 1.0
Then, the new one just released under that is:
27-inch iMac Display Update Version 1.0
So the new one appears to be a firmware update for the panel itself.
I hope this helps people with flickering displays.

Hmmm. You seem to have resisted bumping the memory in your I7 to eight gigs...I have, too, even though doing so is only $100. The few benchmarks I have seen don't seem to show a substantial improvement in much of anything.
So, let the reviews begin and say wether this firmware update has really stopped flickering!

Yeah, I do plan to do so eventually but like you I've seen the benchmarks and don't feel the burning need to go out and do so right away. The 2 slots are empty and waiting for whenever I want to take the plunge. :)
So now I'm waiting for the guinea pigs to report back on the new display firmware. I really hope this fixes the flickering for those suffering with it.
Interesting to note, my newly received Week 05 iMac does not need this update, so they must have had it rock 'n rolling for a while
How is your week 5? No flickering problems? Yellow tinge??
