A lot of people complain about Apple's displays being too expensive.
Others complain that you can buy similar quality ones for less.
My complaint is the lack of connectivity options.
Most other displays 17" and up have at least a DVI and a VGA connection.
Some have two DVIs, and some even have composite & S-video too.
I remember when SGI's excellent 17.3" widescreen display was out, it used a propietary connection which required a new video card, but they later made an adapter so you could hook up, DVI, VGA and even HDTV to it.
I don't see Apple putting more connections to their monitors anytime soon, but maybe when the new ones make their debut, they could also come with a $250 or less adapter that would have ADC/w DVI adaptor included, VGA and S-video/w composite adapter included.
Thought's? Flames?
