Remember, the original 22" Cinema Display sold for $3999. And at the time, buying one in Canada with an exchange rate of 1.5 meant the lcd sold for nearly $6,000 CDN. 😱
$2000 for 30" LCD... haha that's cheap! 😀

The new educational pricing of the 23" makes it $899 now. That makes it much closer to the dell 24" price. Somewhere in the future (most likely far 😛 ) I want to buy a big display to go with my powerbook and use with my photography. I thought that display would be the 24" dell because the cinema was way more $$. However now, it's a much closer competition...

Apple Store
Be careful when buying at an Apple Store that they don't pawn off on you the previous generation model. I was told by an employee that they were the same except for the price. If your not careful they may try to sell their existing stock at the reduced price. Buy online for now. I can't see a way to tell which model is current and which is prior, except for the obvious brightness.

I agree. I don't know why Apple keeps charging a premium for these displays. LCD monitors have come down substantially in price and Apple just gives us these mediocre price breaks.
The Cinema displays are nice and well designed but not worth the extra cost.
making the acds a higher resolution definitely means that there will be new ones soon just like the powerbooks screen before the macbook pro

Apple is usually slow to update things like Education pricing etc.appleforever said:
The Edu price will go down within a few days. 🙂

The old edu discount on the 20 inch was $699 (yesterday and this morning), so unless Apple drops the price AGAIN.
The price drops for the 20 and 23 inch are as follows
size old (edu) -> new (edu)
20" 799 (699) -> 699 (649)
23" 1299 (1099) -> 999 (899)
I'm not sure on the 30", but I reckon it followed a similar pattern.
