Apple displays...

[maya]

Okay, I lied.

I'd take the Apple display for free, sell it, and buy a Dell LCD. Style isn't even worth $500 Cdn to me, let alone $500 USD.

I am sure you do not reside in the Yorkdale area then, maybe Scarborough.

That explains the need for to sell and the need to buy something cheaper. ROTF


BE HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE AND NOT PUT DOWN PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO THEIRS, no one gives a hoot if one is better as long as you are happy, since technology will always improve and what you bought today will be cheaper tomorrow and out done. So why complain.

So your're idea of not putting people down is to tell me that I'm poorer than you because I don't live in the Yorkdale area, you tight-ass snob??

Apple can see people like you coming, open wallets and all. Paying an extra $700 Cdn simply for style...... wow, how mighty of you. Compensating for the lack of personality?

If I'm given an Apple display and I decide to sell it, it wouldn't be because I need to get the cheaper display and pocket the rest of the cash I get from the sale. It's because I'd rather have a better display and don't need the Apple sitting around. LCDs aren't exactly known for performing well in a brightly lit room. Dell's monitor is better if you see sunlight shine through your window sometimes, which apparently you don't. Selling it isn't a bad idea, and I don't need you to tell me how poor I must be since I would sell it.

Funny thing is that I'm not remotely close to being poor. I'm not poor now, and I'll never be poor. I just don't like snobs, especially not ones who spend 80% more for something just because a guest at your home may see it and be impressed by you and how well compensate for your "shortcomings", as if you just did something amazing by purchasing a mass-produced product by a company that's known around the world. Wow, pat yourself on the back.

I have never stated that Apple is right for charging such a high price on they displays I only stated that some people do not mind paying the price for a better casing and as long as the components are decent. Then we also have to factor in that Apple only releases HW and refreshes every so often on the other hand other x86 companies release on a faster refresh rate so if Apple had one of the best looking and decent display when it was released it is obvious that the components or a competitor would out do them that is the "tech industry".

If I could change the casing on the Dell I would, however as I have stated that some people like beautiful looking pieces of work in they house and do not mind the price look no further than ART. Then again its something some might call worth it while other will say not for that price its all a matter of opinion some people like a well rounded objects some look at they pocket book.

If you want the higher spec'd be happy with your purchase and no insult others for they purchases if they want to spend a little extra that is coming from they pocket book and not yours.

its all a matter of opinion

Sorry for misunderstanding where you were coming from.

The only thing that bothers me about the Dell design is that Dell logo on the front.

Hope that I never came across as insulting others for the choice of the Apple display. The only point that I made comment on is Job's statement that Apple uses only the best of the LCD's, and everyone else gets the leftovers. I find this hard to accept. Nice sound-bite, but I doubt that there is real meat behind the statement.

It is that Apple displays are SWOP certified that make their displays standout from many others. And that certification costs $. And that is passed on to the consumer. For some of us in the DTP arena are happy with the "pleasing color" standard that is now being used by some shops for printing.
