hurmph its already in your sig. might i say i am a bit envious? (in a good way)

you are going to love the 30 ACD. around christmas i got a 32" vizio, and that is the biggest tv i have ever had, couldnt imagine a computer screen around the same size!

are you going to get an old school-ish external isight?

I've had one for a long time for the PB (R.I.P.), so I've got that covered. Then again, I dont really ever use the built in iSight in this or my previous iMac..

Dell 2005FPW Really Nice Screen. It's so much better than a Cinema Display way more adjustments can be made.

I love Dell monitors. I have a 2407WFP which I use for both my Mac and my gaming consoles. The quality is pretty much on par with the Apple displays and on certain models you have all sorts of inputs like HDMI and Component. Good purchase!

This one is slightly better due to it has the Same panel but better backlight according to some.

Same panel but worse back lighting, worse build quality and lower acceptable standard for the hardware use. Dell use panels Apple reject.

That's not to say it's a bad panel or bad purchase, it's a great display and a great price. I just don't want people to go away believing it's a better unit, as in many regards it's not.

I've always got far better colour reproduction, brightness and evenness across the panel with ACD's.

I think that's just BS you make up they don't use apples rejects, Don't make up crap like that. How is the build quality worse do you own one? Because if do not don't talk. The build quality is very good on the dell and the dell is brighter proven on tests. Also has better ergonomics and more inputs.

God here we go again, another argument over ACDs and Dell's displays... Every damn thread in the picture section somehow ends up with at least 5 pages devoted to this.

Lets keep this thread ON TOPIC, shall we?

Well, if you think Steve Jobs is a liar, that's up to you. My bet is he knows more than you about it.

Don't make up crap like that.

I advice you to take your own advice and stop being over protective of your purchase.

How is the build quality worse do you own one?

I've owned several and used many. It doesn't take a genius to work out that one is made of cheap crappy plastic and one is made out of aircraft grade aluminium.

Because if do not don't talk.

Like I said, I've owned and used several. 2005, 2405 and even lower end dell displays, which really are poor.

Also has better ergonomics and more inputs.

Better ergonomics? I'd love you to back that up.

More inputs is about the only thing it has over the ACD. Not that it's important for most Mac users.

til now? what is the best now?



No.

Motion? fine, FCP? no, i actually like to be productive thank you

it takes me an hour to do in fcp what i can do in 5 minutes in vegas

I used to use Vegas, before switching over to Mac's. I liked it too, but haven't done enough side by side comparisons to know if my productivity was faster with one or the other. Glad we have options. :)
