Could there be any reason to think that this price drop means new displays are coming any second now? There's been some buzz here and there about new displays on the horizon, possibly with built-in iSight cameras....
$50 on the low end, $100 in the middle, and $200 on the high.can you explain the difference?

Lol, gimme a break. I can buy 2 Dell Ultrasharps for 1 Cinema Display. That's double the pixel count.
can you explain the difference?
TN Gamers
Considered a "gamers" panel due to it's fast pixel response times which reduces trailing images know as "ghosting". However, this advantage has been reduced by new technologies to accelerate pixel response times in other panel types. Colors and contrast tend to be weak and blacks are not truly dark. Viewing angles are significantly limited. However, monitors based on this technology tend to be inexpensive.
IPS / S-IPS Graphics Work or Web Browsing
Considered to have the best color reproduction of all panel types, these panels are well suited for graphics work or web browsing. Pixel response time is also good but slower than the TN "gamers" panel. Contast and blacks are also less dark than VA panels but viewing angles are excellent.
MVA / P-MVA / PVA / S-PVA Compromise for All-Around Use
These panels are a compromise between the fast pixel response times of the TN panel and the excellent color reproduction of the IPS panels. Contrast and blacks are best of all the panel types. Viewing angles are similar but slightly inferior to IPS.
UK prices are identical to what they were. No changes there.
Agreed - the single input on the Apple monitors is the #1 reason why I won't consider one. #2 is price. C'mon![]()
price drops are always apreciate.
I have the feeling that they will introduce at NAB the larger display. 40" +.
alongside FCP extreme.
What's the difference between this 22" Dell for $276 and this 24" Dell for $629?
Other than the 1680x1050 vs 1920x1200, the 2", and the contrast ratio 800 vs 1000. Seems like a big jump ($353) for those specs.
C'mon Apple, add component and composite video inputs and I'll buy an ACD. But if you don't then I'm just going to buy a Gateway or Dell.
I am willing to pay extra for the shiny Apple logo, but not unless they add video inputs.
That insane. Even with price drops the Dell widescreen 20 inch is over 300 dollars cheaper.

Yes, I know for a fact the 20" display was £529 a week or 2 ago, and exactly the same now.
If you remove the VAT from the UK price it's £450. In todays exchange rate that's $889. Compare that to the $599 now being charged on the US AppleStore. In fact, if the price has come down by $100, it sounds as though it was cheaper in the US even before the price reduction - by a significant amount.
Just out of curiosity, what can 2 inputs provide? And do you mean like 2 of the same kind of inputs or different kinds of inputs (DVI, VGA, HDMI, etc.)? If you want to connect 2 computers to the same monitor, you can always get a KVM switch. I know, that's 1 more thing on your desk, but it lets you connect multiple computers to the same keyboard, mouse and display. Don't know how many people would need that, but it's available.

The colorsync profiles, the lack of display controls (acutally a POSITIVE for Color Management) and the more finely tuned LUT's make the ACD a BETTER buy than the dells for Print Production Graphics work -- FOR SURE.
I have both here in our studio.
...And yet, they're still more expensive than the competition.
