Maybe now I can upgrade my lucite 20" one dead pixel LCD with a nice 23" aluminum one!

ravenvii · Oct 19, 2005, 07:00 PM

WOW, the 30" is now actually sort of affordable with the EDU pricing!

combatcolin · Oct 19, 2005, 07:00 PM

£100 cheaper, problem is that the big Dell 24" is now £600...

Im happy with mine, but of course i would have preferred an Apple - shame there so expensive.

ipacmm · Oct 19, 2005, 07:04 PM

Nice to see the price drop...still too much for the 30" for me to upgrade to.

iDM · Oct 19, 2005, 07:06 PM

This is such exciting news with these prices drops all three of them are still completely out of my range! Sweeeetttt!

DHagan4755 · Oct 19, 2005, 07:06 PM

The 20-inch display is too much. It's should $599. Oh, but I know why they won't price it that low...because then it and the Mac mini would undercut the iMac...

EricNau · Oct 19, 2005, 07:06 PM

The 20" still needs to be cheaper...

Agreed.

snkTab · Oct 19, 2005, 07:13 PM

I think it's time for a second 23", don't you?

woodsie · Oct 19, 2005, 07:19 PM

good but could be better.

adroit · Oct 19, 2005, 07:22 PM

Does it worth switching two 19" for one 23"? I just thought that the price of apple's 23" is becoming much more affordable now.

ZildjianKX · Oct 19, 2005, 07:24 PM

23" inch still can't touch the price of the superior Dell 2305FPW, pitty. Most sales put it below $800, which is ironically the price of the Apple 20" LCD.

Happy to see the 30" Cinema display go down in price... I wonder how many years it will be before you can pick one up for less than $1000.

jiv3turkey748 · Oct 19, 2005, 07:25 PM

its about tine they lower the price of the 30"

Stella · Oct 19, 2005, 07:29 PM

The price of the 20" is way too high - $999 is too much and there are better and cheaper displays around.

Your paying for the Good Looks.

law guy · Oct 19, 2005, 07:30 PM

I am surprised we didn't see more of a drop (and a few months ago). Only a few hundred more on the 23" and they finally would have been in $ competition with the Dell 24" that's been the subject of so many threads here. I am also a little disappointed to not see the panels moved to ones that provide a better black performance. Ah well, the Sony G400 CRT continues to chug along.

Especially with a student discount!

They are actually approaching normal prices!

joeboy_45101 · Oct 19, 2005, 07:49 PM

Great news about the price drops. I just hope they can keep coming down and into my price range. I guess my Xerox monitor will have to do for now.

I just bought a Dell 2405FPW (1920 x 1200, I believe) along with a Dell Dimension 9100, 2.8 GHz. DVD-ROM. 16x Dual Layer DVD+/-RW, 2 GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB HDD, 100w Dolby 5.1 Stereo Surround Speakers, etc. for about $150 more than the Apple 23" Cinema.

Lucky me!!

Diatribe · Oct 19, 2005, 07:54 PM

iGary is gonna be happy about this...

Xephian · Oct 19, 2005, 07:56 PM

Nice, the 30" is now only $2200 w/ educational discounts.

Lepton · Oct 19, 2005, 08:00 PM

Where the heck is the 17"??

The 30 inch now costs what my 22 inch Cinema Display cost me a few years ago. Cool.

Need to get one I think.
