Hi all,
I was hoping to hear some opinions regarding the 30" ACD. I am likely ordering one this evening, but still have some reservations. I have looked at many products in the past and always return to the Mac, and I suspect I will in this case, too. I need a display for my Mac Pro for 3-D NURBS, CAD work using Rhino and Maxwell. Consistency of contrast and colour from side to side and top to bottom are important, as are resolution, colour accuracy and screen size. One reason for my reservations is that the white on the Apple Cinema Displays seems sort of "dirty". I just returned a Samsung T240 that was only $400 (now $350) that had cleaner and less staticy white, which is a concern when viewing large areas in 3-D space. The Samsung had a terrible viewing angle, though. I am now using a 20" ACD, but find it far too small, and the "dirty" white is something of a concern. Money is not so much of an issue, however, I am still having a difficult time justifying the massive price difference between a 30" ACD and a cheap-o Samsung with a poor viewing angle. Most other displays that are out there cannot be tested in the stores, and they cannot be returned once purchased. Is there anything aside from the ACD 30" that might be worth looking at, or should I pull the trigger on the ACD 30" and feel good about it? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
