I am thinking about getting the new 24" iMac and the 24" ACD as a second monitor and was wondering how this setup will look. I specifically want to know if the height on either one can be adjusted so that the 2 screens will be at an even viewing height.

If someone has this setup, can you please post a photo?

Thanks

I was looking for the same thing a while back and found a number of shots at flickr. Just go there and search "imac cinema display" and you should find a bunch. As for height, you can do a makeshift riser for the ACD but to my knowledge, there isn't otherwise any specific gear on the market for height matching.

I just tried that and looks like most of the photos are the older iMacs or older ACD.
I'm looking for the new iMac and new LED ACD screen next to each other.
Maybe it's still too new.

One thing I'm not too crazy about is the height differential of the ACD and iMac and people tend to ruin the look by placing the ACD on a stack of books. What would be really cool is if a third party (mStand) could produce a taller version of the aluminum foot that one could retrofit onto the ACD and make them exactly the same height.
