As for the headaches, I have a 23" ACD and it's brightness gave me pains at 1st as well. For me, the solution was to adjust my workspace lighting as I found that the sharp contrast from the brightness of the screen to the darkness of everything else was what was hurting my eyes. A 20 watt halogen lamp behind the screen and a 40 watt shaded light (shaded so it doesn't glare) behind me made things very comfortable again. Glad I could help and grats on the new beauty.

In short, the 24" screen is <em>very</em> bright. Like "I'm starting to get headaches" bright. There are dimming controls, but unfortunately they produce a faint buzzing sound (some Googling on this seems to indicate it's a problem without a good solution and I don't feel like parting with my new iMac for several weeks for Apple to send me one that does the same thing). One point on the iMac: You'll save money on buying a desk lamp. Just open up a large window with a white background.
