hey why not new cinema displays!! I want a new one, a lot time without a new model!
Hmm... what's wrong with the current model? Though I do wish Apple would produce a even larger display, my 30" already looks too small. LOL
Hmm... what's wrong with the current model? Beside it doesn't have HDCP compliance? Personally... I love my display, the Dells can't even get close when it comes to matching, co-ordinating the Apple's Professional line. Though I do wish Apple would produce a even larger display, my 30" already looks too small. LOL
I'd say price drops. Drop the 20 inch to about $450USD (about $599 currently), 23 to $700 (about $899 currently), etc. I'd like to buy an apple display...they're so pretty...but you can find good quality viewsonics for about half apple's price.
EDIT I like the idea of new led displays as well. I second that.
Hmm... what's wrong with the current model?
...16:9 ratio...
H-IPS, LED and 16:9 ratio Cinema Display would be nice.
16:9 wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Nonstandard resolutions are the devil.
No, they are not.Nonstandard resolutions are the devil.
No, they are not.
No one wants Cinema displays to have 16:9.
Except me.
I still do not know why people are so afraid of it except for a couple lost pixels. So what, big deal.
I can only speak for my self but when i'm in photoshop I want all the realestate I can get. I love my pixels. But I could ask you the same question why 16:9 What are the advantages.
No, they are not.
Except for the fact that a veritable buttload of applications, especially games, would have to be patched to support the new resolutions. Not to mention display drivers, and very possibly the OS itself.
Apple is waiting for OLED panels to become readily available and is cost effective IIRC. No way to really predict when it will happen though.I have no problem with the current models, but if I buy one today! and apple release the new one in one month by example... so I killing me!!! hahaha
What? OS X already supports nonstandard resolutions (Try using a VGA cable out to a projector. Your options there are far weirder than this). And it manages it just fine. In fact, I can run 1920x1080 out to my monitor just fine, 1:1 pixel mapping through a DVI cable. It's a 25.5" H-IPS and it works great.
Some games are flexible, and many could be made to support 16:9. After all, every console game does. Also, 16:9 nonstandard? HDTV, in all of its flavors and incarnations, is all 16:9, and it has been standardized for many, many years. Pixel loss, by the way, is minor. Also, the point of 16:9 monitors is to cram 1080p onto smaller panels, a measure I thoroughly approve of since right now 22" monitors suck - are merely a downgrade from 20" monitors in terms of pixel density and always use TN panels. Now, if 22" monitors adopted that aspect ratio in order to get 1080p, I'd call that a much better idea. I don't think anybody is seriously making 24" 16:9 panels, but if they are, it'll have an obvious use to video editors, as 16:10 is not used anywhere there.
So, to recap: 16:9 is a thoroughly standard resolution and OS X handles it just fine. So would just about every application that wasn't designed by a company that doesn't know how to write apps (like Microsoft). Games could handle it just fine. 22" monitors with that aspect ratio gives them an actual purpose for existing.
But frankly, I think it's the most minor possible issue with the ACD line. The crappy response times, mediocre contrast ratio, and third-rate input capabilities are what bug me.
