I bought a new Gateway for gaming a couple of years ago with a separate LCD display, and when I set it up it looked just like yours. They sent me a new one and it's been perfect ever since.
Sorry you're having a problem, but these things happen.
You'll get a new one and it will probably last forever. Don't blame it on being a Rev. A unless you start seeing hundreds of others with the same thing.

Apple will just give you a new one. That one will probably last you a lifetime. If not...then im wrong and theyll send you another. But ive heard stories where people have gotten 3 new imacs and theyve all...im not helping am i?

Apple still hasn't figured out how to guarantee that every product that it manufactures won't have a part that might fail 10 minutes out of the box. Damn humans.
But seriously, I think it's a little early to be waving the "Rev A issue" flag just because your screen is broken. Ten more users with the same problem? Then maybe...
Someone else posted the exact same thing on here yesterday. Awesome quality control, Apple.

Yeah that was my post and I tried to exchange the computer tonight but they were out of stock so now it is sitting at the store until they get more in. I am glad to hear I am not the only one with this problem. Good luck on exchanging.
After I did a reset on my machine the problem would go away for 20min-10 hours. Does this work for you?
It's still rev 5-6 or something like that, why would it be "rev a" just because they have changed from plastic to aluminium?
You are 100% sure it's not that contrast setting someone else talked about? In case you just happen to press some key combination which turns it on?
But is probably hardware anyway, just have it fixed instead, which I know you have, there are always a few bad Apples, no mather what manufacturer.
Both machines are 24", intresting.

It's common knowledge that most Rev. A products from any company aren't up to snuff. When a new design gets tested by a huge swarm of users for the first time, engineering issues will invariably make themselves know whereas they were not clearly issues when testing was confined to the development lab.
