I have been recently converting from PC -> Mac at home. Have an iMac 24" and a 17" MacBook Pro. Been using the MacBook to transition between work and home, and now can do a lot of my development for work on the MacBook (I am a programmer). I
The 30" Cinema Display is THE display that designers, especially print designers, need, without any doubt whatsoever. After my original 22" Cinema Display suddenly died after 9 years of excellent use, I decided to upgrade to the 30" and I h
At first I thought this screen was going to be too big, but after a few days it felt just right. It's sharp and contrasty, and you can't really have enough screen real estate to keep multiple editor windows open. It does produce quite a bit of h
I received it today, it took me all of a half our to install the new video card. The computer booted up, I set it up with my daughter's photo as a background, it was an image that I have never seen on a computer. I got so excited that I ordered anoth
That first review was terrible, not to mention wrong. Of course you can use this with a PC, you just need a graphics card with Dual-Link DVI, and the only one for the mac is coming out soon (Nvidia 6800). I have seen this monitor, and it is a technologica
Photos and spec sheets cannot describe what an absolute masterpiece this display is. The picture quality is phenomenal, colors are rich and deep, and the wide aspect ratio is very addictive. Despite its high price tag, the 30" Cinema costs less tha
I've had mine for a few weeks now, and it's a great monitor. It's just amazing to be able to open up 100+ thumbnails on the screen at once, and still be able to see what each one is. Games look fantastic on it , though not all support the n
I'm a firm proponent that the size (in pixel quantity) of the display you are using is more important that CPU speed. The CTH bus (computer to human bus) in your computer system is the display/keyboard/mouse. For most people this has a bottleneck: t
This monitor works great on Windows XP with an NVidia Quadro FX 4000. If it's in your budget, buy it today. There is no downside to this monitor. I have no reservation in recommending it. It is one of the most expensive monitors on the market but
I just recently bought this display and what an absolute masterpiece. I was using a Samsung 213T and this was to replace that monitor and become my main screen. The 213T is now a second screen for other tasks. If you can afford this monitor, I highly r
I bought this monitor for my Apple Power Mac G5 and it has been wonderful to own it. 30 inches of beautiful viewing and this is a perfect screen for playing games on. You really do have to go all out on this one because it costs almost or the same as the
Just wanted to let everyone know that it's been confirmed with multiple owners that the Asus V9999 Gamer Edition based on the 6800 (not GT or Ultra) supports the optimal 2560x1600 resolution.
This screen is great. Upgraded from a 23" and the increase in realestate is awesome. You can play games with crystal clarity; have so many pages up and read them clearly. You will need a graphics card that supports Dual-link DVI, not a card that says
I started my computing with a Mac+ with a 10" screen. Many Macs later I now have a G5 with Quad Processors and two 30" Cinema Displays. All I can say is FANTASTIC. Crystal clarity for all my digital darkroom work and slideshows. To run two 30s I
So I managed to get a hold off an older gen 30inch. I a will simply say that I LOVE IT !!. Totally awesome to play games, write code (Definitely) and pretty much everything. The colours on the monitor are almost photo like. I have had it the better part o
Owning this monitor so far (two months) has been just wonderful! It took no time at all for me to get utterly spoiled by having a huge space to open multiple documents, multiple programs, everything at my fingertips. Plus, the display quality is drop-dead
For the ones reading the previous reviews here .. this 30" does NOT work with the PNY Verto 6600GT. I assume the version of the PNY 6600GT that is produced now is different from the older one (which had 2 DVI ports, the new ones have 1 DVI and 1 VGA)
Great display, beautiful design. Using Parallels I run 3 computers at once on this display: the Mac, a Windows XP virtual machine, and a Windows Vista virtual machine (I'm a software developer). Plenty of real estate for my 3-machine "lab."
You will love it, and you will be the envy of your friends.

After seeing this display in person, I had to run out and buy one. In Windows at 2650x1600 it seems to display things about the same size as my 20" monitor does at 1600x1200, but you get more than twice as much on the screen as the 20" (2.1333 t
This is the best monitor I've used in a long time. I use AutoCAD on a daily basis and the screen is clearer and criper than any other monitor I've ever used. The screen is so large, I'm able to work without having to zoom in and out all of
I bought this monitor as I often need to have multiple windows open for a project. It provides the real estate for that and more. This display is awesome!
I recently bought a new intel Mac and loaded it up all the way. With such a monsterous system, I wanted an equally powerful monitor. I was going to purchase Mac's 23" HD Cinema display, but I bought my Mac just after their displays dropped in pr
This monitor is STUNNING. There is no better monitor for computers anywhere, no exceptions. If you don't have it for Mac or Windows, run (don't walk) out and buy it immediately!
Pros: If you want some rationalization for buying this, you can convincingly argue that it will improve your productivity to have room for multiple large windows. But let's be honest: you just want it because it's really big and beautiful and
I've owned a 30" Cinema HD for a couple months now and while I regularly work on smaller monitors, I love the productivity and the immersion of a display this size. I regularly play World of Warcraft on it (which of course is a great experience
In all likelihood, you are reading this review with two separate goals in mind. First, you want to make sure that nothing is horribly wrong with the lyrically-beautiful, breathtakingly-enormous 30-inch Cinema Display. After all, it is only natural to worr
This is the very best monitor available. High quality digital photos take on a 3d look and it allows for several pages of text with room for tv in the corner. I am running it with a Gateway DX440X which has a strong video card and it runs perfectly smooth
I bought mine used, it is definitely the best choice of a monitor I ever made. I have to sit in front of the computer for hours on end - and this one is a really productivity booster. Despite the size and weight it is very easy to move around. It is a per
Just got the 30" Apple Cinema Display, after agonizing for months on which brand/model to buy for a large desktop monitor. I've had this for 3 days now, hooked up to my 17" Mac Book Pro notebook, and my initial impression is that the pictur
At $1750, this is not a light purchasing decision. It's a lot of money to spend on a monitor, and there are cheaper alternatives (like the Dell 3007WFP-HC 30-Inch LCD Widescreen Monitor . But I liked Apple's industrial design and I wanted the bi
flat out the best computer screen i've ever seen or owned. i bought two of them for my mac pro. i love these monitors so much i get anxiety cause i want to buy to more and put them away in case these ever poop out in the future. expensive, but wor
Pros- 1)great thin design 2)biggest HD LCD Display ever 3)Wonderful Picture Quality amazing! 4)has firewire inputs 5)Can hook up additional display WOW! Cons- 1)Can't Be used With PC-(but the 20" and 23" can) 2)Need different Graphic card j
I received it today, and it's a monster. If you've seen one in a store, it looks twice as big on your desk. Until a few hours ago, I was running two 20" aluminum cinema displays on a PNY 6600GT. After doing online research about using th
I love my Apple Cinematic Display. It's the best monitor I've ever had and I've had several. The color's crisp, the text is easy to read. Both computer and TV images are sharp and beautifully rendered. The tilt is a useful feature
I have two of these displays and sometimes ponder buying a third one. I bought one of the displays new; the other I bought refurbished and saved a little bit of money (I believe refurbs are only sold at Apple's online store). Frankly, I can't t

Although this is listed in the "compatible monitors" section by Amazon for the newly announced (yesterday?) MacBooks (the iBook replacements), you need a dual link DVI output to drive this monitor - the MacBook does not have this video output wh
No doubt this is a gorgeous flat panel LCD. Wish it was available in a glossy non-matte finish. The problem is that this LCD is WAY overpriced. Think about it, for $1800 you can buy a 46-52'' LCD TV nowadays and your only getting a 30''
LCD monitors inherently can be manufactured such that they end up with a few dead/bad pixels. This shows up as a colored dot on the monitor when certain colors are displayed. Apple needs to do the right thing and take a stand on quality control. Samsung h

Be careful with this product. There are a number of problems present in the current model of the 30" ACD. The most notable one is the famous 'pixel-dancing' or flickering problem. You can read all about it in the following Apple discussion
