Whatever happened to all those ultra-high resolution icons that Apple was designing?
Wouldn't that argue for a 4K monitor? Sign me up for a 4K 30" OLED ACD with matte screen please!!!!
They were for the retina macbook pro

I never knew why the display was so thick when all you really need is space for the connector ports. Display technology can get way thinner than this. I can't wait to see the redesign.
$1000 isn't outlandish for an IPS display running at 2560x1400. Competitors are in the $7-800s, without ports and docking ability.
I'd bet on USB 3.0 as well - and could imagine dropping FW800.I´m guessing the only different will be it will be ultra slim (slimmer than the imac) and same screen lamination thing which gives it a better screen. anyone wanna bet ?

Actually it's not the same resolution (though being close to it) - so you do get less real estate.
The resolution on the 27" is exactly the same as on the 30" so it's not as if you get less screen real estate. Sure the display itself is a bit smaller, but you could just move it a bit closer to make up for that.
I personally prefer the 27" size on the desktop.
Elegant for the Mac laptops. For the Mac mini ( and Mac Pro if had Thunderbolt ) there is the question of the dangling, superfluous power cord. Apple doesn't always go for elegant. It is more combination of elegant and quantity.
It would make sense to come up with a Thunderbolt-less $799 monitor. There is little to no margin loss if they simply just dump the additional TB complexity, power distribution complexity, and cost along with the additional price. It would still share costs with a TB docking station ( 27 panel and most of the enclosure design) but only would have a USB 3.0 hub instead of a full fledged USB 3.0 controller ( Ethernet , FW would drop also.).
So it does less non display stuff and you'd pay less.
Heck,
I would love a 30" or larger ACD version.
One thing I've never understand about this website.... and it never fails. On every thread, on every single product Apple makes, whether its a Thunderbolt cable or an outdated overpriced Mac Pro, there's always somebody on here arguing AGAINST getting a better deal on Apple products. Maybe their parents buy their stuff.... or they are just so rich that prices don't matter. Either way, I don't get it.
Wouldn't you be happier if that same product was maybe 10 percent cheaper? Obviously Apple is doing well and would still make money on pretty much everything they sell. Why argue against that? Do you really own THAT much stock?
Some features that would be nice: reliable, retina, hdmi, more competitive pricing, future compatibility with Apple TV
Surely these kinds of remarks are getting tiresome even for trolls.
Eventually, we will all be saying "I can't believe I used to look at that crap all day long." The reality is that we could live with much more crappy displays, but once you acquire a taste for quality, it doesn't go away.
They already do make a Thunderbolt-less monitor. The 27" Cinema Display is still for sale, brand new, not refurbished.
The problem is that it's $999 as well for some reason, even though it's clearly cheaper to manufacture.
I agree that it should be cheaper. It looks like Apple is only selling it for Macs that don't have Thunderbolt, but they're sending the message that their plan is not to offer a cheaper display. I doubt they will update the Cinema Display.
No, I think $700 would be a very reasonable price. It's really nice to have a dock and a 27" screen bundled into one, but the fact that it is only compatible with Thunderbolt Macs severely limits its utility.
Hdmi??? Thunderbolt / display port is way better. Do you mean as a second input?
Retina is quite impossible.
It would be nice to have a dedicated gfx card inside less expensive maybe and slimmer.
Anyway I will buy one for sure since I need a great display and a thunderbolt hub.
