Aluminum Displays?

Aluminum finish seems logical, as the displays are meant for the pro line and not the consumer line. 30 inches? *Phew!* That's so big that it almost poses a problem: You won't be able to move just your eyes from one edge to the other, you'll have to move your head as well. Is that fun?
30" monitor
I've seen some stock people on TV that have like 5 monitors on their desk. THe 30" model would be good for them. I am going to buy the 20" model when I get a new computer in about a year. I just hope that prices don't rise with the aluminum revision.

Yeah right ? ? ?
July 5th of 003 * as for new Apple Cinema HD Display as for display of
the next generation where aluminum mesh Apple is in the midst of
developing, it seems that adopts the mesh panel for the front part
with the frame of the aluminum material which can give community in
PowerMac G5 and the design which some days ago are announced.
According to information, also model line-up of current 17 inches, 20
inches and 23 inches is renovated, when there is also the preparation
of 30 inch model as a most significant type, it is thing.

Well that clears things up a lot!
And people ask why we need 20-30 Ghz computers -- maybe so they can translate better in the future. heh.

Multiple Market Monitors
It is my understanding that the multiple market monitors traders use are, as a rule, a function of the proprietary structure of the information providers. I don't believe it would be possible to integrate the information on a single screen for that reason--though I am not expert in this area and stand open to correction.

I think they should integrate some speakers into the thing. After all, they've killed the apple pro speaker connection.
30" display is not too big. I recently saw a 35" on eBay. But a 30" would be an awesome alternative to Dual Monitors. You could use it as your television.
30" would be sweet. I sometimes use a 29" Barco monitor and it's sooo nice to have that much screen real estate. maybe they could introduce a (very) slight concave (i think) curvature to the screen so it's always the same distance away from your eyes when you turn your head...
oh well, i guess i won't be waiting for the rev.II any more, i'mma have to get a new G5 with 30" screen welcome back debt.

welcome back debt.I would consider it, I use two 17 inch monitors and "can't" work on one alone anymore. All the big apps begs for as much real estate as possible, Photohop and all the heavy 3D programs.
It would be nice too, if they were redesigned, they look odd with G5 and even the last G4's.

yah, the new display will be 30in but the res will only be 1000x600. I love the apple displays, but why are the resolutions so low? I think the 15in and 17in powerbook resolutions are too low. i also think the 20 and 23 cinemas are too low for their size as well.
30 inches would be nice... at work we have 5 g4 1.42 systems each with 3 23" displays.... a 30" would be quite neat.
Hmmm a new 30" would most likely drop the price of a 23" down into the sub 2,000 range. Nice. I dont know if I would be a big fan of aluminum. I think the current display casing is beautiful as is.

Re: 30" monitor
Same here. When I finally was able to see and compare a 20" to a 23" monitor, the 23" was just way too large for my tastes and needs. So I said, "This monitor is too big." Then I took a look at the 17", which didn't seem too much larger than my 15" LCD display. But it still did not seem quite large enough to suit my needs. So I then said, "This monitor is too small." The 20", however, looked to be just right. So I ate it all up.
THE END.

I think we are getting ahead of ourselves. "Preparation" for a 30" Display could just mean Steve told the hardware guys to look into it. And what they ended up with is a big clunky thing that can't stand up, weighs 80 pound, has a resolution of 320 X 240, and cost $25,000.
Some preparation.....
P.S. It is just a theory.

No one has mentioned that it would take forever to scroll the cursor across a screen of that size.
au contraire
Once you start using such a large monitor it changes your world. When I first got a cinema display it seemed huge. Now it feels comfortable.
For some apps you want the large area. These are spread sheets, drawing programs, DVD player, to name a few.
In other cases, it is nice to have several apps visible at once. You can have a WP window open in one place with a database open elsewhere and an email client in the corner.
One thing I've grown to like is using Preview with pdf documents and lots of zoom. The rendering is so much better when you have 150% zoom. Safari is nice for this as well. With a large window you can zoom in a little and make all those ultra-tiny fonts look normal.

Actually, screen size has no impact on how long it would take to move the pointer across the screen. The display resolution is what defines the amount of workspace you have.

It's not a matter of having a faster computer, but having a translator that understands Asian language patterns better.
All the info is there though...17, 20, 23 inch models currently in the line will have the alumi mesh look and a 30 inch HD model will be added. They're still not ready for production.
