2560x1440 = 2560x1600 = "just as much".
Don´t you understand that this is a downgrade, not upgrade.They should have at least made a 30". Or a 32" 2560x1600.
I wouldn't think so either, but if you go to Apple's site they don't even list the 24" anymore:

Yes, just as much, not EXACTLY as much.
Again, show me an LG, Samsung, or Panasonic LED display at 32" with a resolution at what you're asking for.
I am sure they will make it eventually, and/or they are working on it, but it's just not here yet, and a 27" with a higher pixel density than the 27" monitors before it is very welcomed.
Not that I would have minded seeing just a 30" in the new casing and FW800 ports.
Wow! How many times will I have to stick my foot in my mouth when it comes to Apple NOT making mistakes?
As I predicted, its another non-ergonomic, visually distracting, glossy-ass panel. Likewise, it appears to incorporate the same utterly useless short cabling as the 24-inch. Apple has clearly lost their sense of functional design while opting for showroom esthetics.
More to say... Gamers with notebooks (laptops) will likely be happy!

No one else offers an integrated camera, speakers and an all-round nice enclosure.
It is daft of Apple not to offer a matte option. I'm sure they will.. we haven't got the finer details yet.
Oh dear - Gloss only. I won't be buying a new Cinema Display at this rate.
Wonder what the chances of them doing a matte version at a later date?

thanks for sharing this.
unless you edit or do heavy work on your Mac,27-inch is WAY too wide WAY too big,will order the 24-inch in the next few days.
They'll introduce a 21.5" Cinema Display.
Otherwise, they might as well stop the 21.5" iMac and just have the 27" version.
I seriously doubt it. The 24" has been out forever and they never offered a matte option.
They are finally recognizing Mac Pro users with this monitor, though with the glossy screen and short cabling, it's not an easy sell and seems more like lip service.
But the real dealbreaker for me is that I have a DVI-based 8-core Mac Pro -- a not-very-old model -- and Apple still thinks I shouldn't be able to use a LED display with it because it lacks a mini-DisplayPort and they refuse to offer an adapter.

It's not. It's good for watching 16:9 films, but not really for general computing. I feel pretty cramped vertically on 16:9.
And it seems like 16:10 is just as good for watching 16:9 films, unless people are really hung up about black bars. Plus you can *edit* 16:9 full screen fill, and still have some room on the bottom for controls.
Going to be interesting the next time SJ does a "Mac" demo having to use a Glossy screen. If you check the previous events he always uses a Matte display (either the old ACD or the 30"). Glossy/Glass screens are horrible in those type of environments with the overhead lights etc...
Good god quit with the 16:9 bitching. This is the same panel as the Dell U2711 and the 27" iMac. They are LG panels. Apple doesnt make panels they order them. LG, Samsung, et al are phasing out 16:10 panels, on both the desktop and in laptops(slower phase out than desktops). It is as simple as that. No one makes a 27" 16:10 IPS panel. Its as simple as that. No third party monitor manufacture has the sales to get custom made panels.
As for glossy, other than Dell and the high end NEC and HP monitors, there are scant few matte displays. **** even on TVs almost all 2010 models are glossy, not just plasma's either.

I love how you start with this:
and then follow up with this:
So they offer you what your preference is so everyone else should be happy too, if I read that right. This is the 'me' generation.

Cool display.
**** Apple for this mini-dp ****, though.
The 27" ACD and Dell u2711 use the exact same panel.
I don't think you guys "get" how digital display technology works. Mini-dp does not have the bandwidth required for a display with a resolution this large. It would require at least two mini-dp connectors at the same time pushing two 1920x1200 stripes.

+1. Exact same panel. I love mac as much as most but this zealous Mac display love is retarded. The only reasons to buy this panel over the Dell are recycling issues and aesthetics. On the flip side the Dell has many superior features..

No we can't. I've had a Japanese after market high gloss filter on my 23" Cinema since the day I bought it. It's actually less glare because of the optical construction, but it's more specular which is what people notice. I like that my entire display doesn't wash out in ambient light. I'm still amazed that more people don't see the benefits, but they don't and I don't spend my time ranting on line about it.
Maybe it's a personal thing-- I'm not so enamored of myself that I stop working so I can view myself in my monitor. I keep the lights such that the reflections are minimal and focus on what's on the screen.
I've been waiting for just this release: glass display, built in camera, higher res than my 23". Was hoping for a little bigger, but this works for me.
