Does anyone have the old ACD with the new MacBook's?

I actually really like the new glossy displays, but considering they cost $900, I'll need to set my sights to something more affordable.

It's the most affordable H-IPS LED display on the market by around $400.
Not to mention the microphone, speakers, and camera.
I'm not arguing that its a fantastic display, but at $900, I just can't afford it. A 24" Dell, similarily priced, would be around $400.
I dont need the mic, speakers, or iSight, as I can just use those features built in my MacBook. The IPS panels aren't useful to me as I don't do much photo or video editing.

Wait... 😀
You must mean speced, and I've already said that it isn't. If all you care about is resolution, go ahead and get a cheaper display, of course.
That's a whole freakin' lot for a display! My MacBook I am getting in a few weeks (Recent gen, white, 2.1 GHz) is $999.99 and the price might drop some before I pick it up
Sorry, I don't even remember what I was thinking...I must've meant that their screen sizes are the same. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I don't have one, but I've seen one. The quality is great! With a Dell or Samsung, in my opinion, the picture does not look as good. I would go with the old ACD and sacrifice the 4 inches that you would get on another LCD.
Right, but 900 bucks is a lot of money for a display and in my opinion priced too high for the average consumer. Apple should make a consumer panel IMO.
