Apple Cinema Updates Delayed?

[army_guy]

My Current CRT is a DELL 21" FD Trinitron 1600x1200, 0.24 pitch etc.., I also have a 19" version Trinitron 5 years old and blacks are still solid and colours/contrast amazing of which NO LCD can match todate ( err maybe the 15" ones nothing bigger than that).
Tried Formac, Sony and all the Apple range still no luck in what I expect, maybe the new displays will fix that but Iam not getting my hopes up.

me and all the designers i work with use cinema displays (i work for a rather large fortune 500 company). i don't do broadcast, but half of our team does and these monitors work just great for them. it's obvious army guy will argue his point till the cows come home, but for most 'normal' graphic artists, the cinema displays and lcds work just fine.

whatever benifits crts have just aren't worth it to us.

I have reliable information about Apple display updates - they're coming next week.

I got sick of waiting and bought a 20" Cinema Display today, so Apple LCD updates are about to happen soon

Why didn't you waiting for next week, if you were getting a new display ?

Thanks for taking one for the team Happo... this will virtually GUARANTEE new displays next week!

Just wanted to let people know that there are no refurb moniters at the apple store online. With that there are only Dual 1.8 G5's in there as well, they don't even mention the other processors or any of the monitors, could there be an update shortly????

Anyone know anything? I sold my 20" and I am just sitting here waiting..

Come on.. anyday now...

I, too have been thumping my foot, twidling my fingers waiting for the new monitors. I can wait but I need a G5 to replace my tired but true PM 8600. Anyone know if the G5 ships with analog monitor cable or is this a $99.95 option?

Sad but true: you'll never buy another computer as reliable as your 8600.

That certainly sound correct. Apple is always working to improve the relaibility of their computers.

hmmm?

Does anyone know the current pixel response time of Apple Displays?

 

[army_guy]

I think its 25-30ms, though I maybe wrong, its definetly better than the sony 23" LCD panel and thats 35ms. But the new panels should be pretty good.

0.258 pitch
1,920 x 1,200 resulution @ 16:10
500:1 contrast
250mcd brightness
16ms response time (this is higher when the panel reaches the end user)

assuming Apple use the lgphillips LCD 23" Wide LM230W02. I am worried about he response time mostly as its this that will determine whether I get a 24" CRT or a 23"+ LCD.
