I've had my iMac since April 07 (Its a White 24" iMac - with isight).

I've never had any problems, until today. I got a burnt pixel effect on the left side of my screen, it had burnt the side of my browser into the background. It is only visible on grey/dark backgrounds for some reason.

I turned the display off for a hour or so and have just turned it back on to find the lines gone...great! However within 5 minutes it was back but moved to where the side of my browser now was (I moved the window).

I also opened my dashboard and I have yellow stickie widgets. It burnt two of them into the screen, a few minutes later they were gone.

Is this a known issue? Is there any known fix? I do have applecare and will be phoning them in the morning I think.

I also have the purple screen gradient issue (Which I wasn't aware of until I read a thread here).

Anyone having the same problem?
