I know the have been some discouraged users regarding the glossy screen. Where that does pose some issues it is quickly overshadowed by the wealth of features and horsepower packed into this beast. The iMac has an enormous 24 inch screen and enough RAM and disk space to run the most power hungry graphics applications. As a bonus I can run Windows XP without issue for those 3D applications that are only available for Windows. This is an excellent solution for those not quite willing to put in the extra $$ for the Mac Pro.
