Default Re: Why the big price for the Apple Cinema Displays?

it has 2 ieee1394a ports & 2 usb2.0 ports

A single cable extends from the back of the display and breaks out to connect DVI, USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and power. Eliminates cable clutter.

SWOP certified

DELL's 3007WFP 30-inch Wide-Screen Flat Panel LCD = $2199
30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display = $1999
Actually the review I read it wasnt the Aluminium that was the problem, it was the acrylic side thingies, where the buttons are...apparently they cracked effortlesly.

The usb/firewire hubs are a nice feature but I personaly would rather have it seperate...Or rather none at all. I have 10 in my case. 8 at back and 2 at the front.

I do like apple cable managment thats nicely taken care of.



Toronto- I was refering to the colour white. Id much rather have one in black. Actually if I got one I think Id get it paited matt black. It would look killer.



Anyway price difference seems smaller now.


I just wanted to see if they had any "special" technology or features that justified the price difference.



BTW what panels are they using now?


The one i have in this LG is a 8ms IPS, 1:1400 16.8m colours 1680x1050 20.1"
