I just got the Cinema Display yesterday. It had a dead Magsafe connector, so I returned it for a new one today.
Which leaves me with a 24" LED Cinema Display and 2.0GHz MacBook. I am selling a 20" iMac which I no longer need. I didn't realise how poor the screen quality was on the iMac until I tried the Cinema Display. The colours are so much better, the viewing angle is so much better and it's nice not having the chin too!
^ farmerku- please use TIMG tags, pic is way to big. lol and good job editing the panorama 
sleek! the best looking display ever.

neiltc13,
you are moving up to an ips panel vs the tn you had in the imac. hence the quality difference. it's a shame so many others don't know the different panel types and hence buy crappy tn monitors for cheap not realizing what they are really getting.
and nice set up too.

The LED Cenima displays are nice but I wish they came in matte, worked with DVI and were cheaper.
This thread is almost needing part 9 aready. I believe that this is the longest running thread in MacRumors history

Is that dell monitor broken?
The real shame is people who don't need an IPS panel spending $800 on the Cinema Display to check email and browse the internet
Especially after some young twit at the Apple store told them it was "the only display that would work with their new Mac Mini without several expensive adapters"... (I heard this first-hand in my local Apple store, ridiculous.) Needless to say, I had a little conversation with that couple before exiting the store and pointed them to the $29 adapters What?? My post is only 884... Usually mods step in around post 2000 to close and start a new thread.
In many cases, it is not that people don't know they're getting TN panels when they bought "cheap" monitors. For many people, it is not that they don't want to spend a lot more to buy a IPS panel, they simply cannot afford it.
You must understand that not everyone is as rich as you are.
What is the point in portrait monitors? I need two documents side by side more than being able to see the whole page. I sometimes even need 3 documents side by side which would take 3 portrait monitors to do while a single 24 inch could do it fine
whoa, I have those same blinds, the same mirror closet door, the same door. similar molding, and a similiar color to your room. weird
Is that dell monitor broken?
No that is a wallpaper I ripped off of the desktop thread back in Feb or early March.
I will post pictures of my imac g3, powermac 7100, 20inch imac C2D, my white mac book and my aluminum Mac book in the morning. Until then enjoy my mac pro
lol, so do 99.9% of standard bedrooms, except for maybe the mirrors.
Cool perspective though.
Current Set Up
Here is my current set up with a few subtle changes.Still PPC based G5 & G4. I have waited for so many mac pro updates i think i will wait until 2020 and the G8 introduction lol. The close up shows the card reader i found here on this thread or the previous, plus my elagto turbo & space navigator.
Loving that fisheye shot sangimoso !

Well, if this setup is sufficient for you, there is no need to upgrade, right? I tink there are a lot of people woho buy a maxed-to-the-teeth Mac Pro without really needing it. In my opinion your setup has to fit your needs and if you can get your work done with G4s and G5s then why not keep them?chedda said:
I like your setup was the actual thing I was going to say

I like the way you think.
I love your setup, but quick question, it appears you are some kind of architect. (correct me if I'm wrong.) Anyways, what CAD program(s) do you use?
