Apologies for the long post:
Even though this post is rather old i thought id share my experience with a new 24" imac glossy screen that has replaced my older machine in the studio. Basically the color accuracy issue is a bit pointless as you truly never have something that will be 100% calibrated. True, this screen makes colors much brighter and 'nicer' and, yes on occasion, slightly off but in my view nothing terribly serious. What is to be considered though is if you mind or not having a reflection all the time. This to me is the biggest flaw of this new imac...especially since i have 2 windows beside me and a couple more in the back, my screen is like the cinderella mirror.
So there you go. Otherwise it runs pretty smothly and quickly (2.4ghz w/ 4gb ram, and i use it mainly for print stuff with illustrator, photoshop, indesign all cs3 running at the same time, if youre interested).
