[techlover828]

hey guys,

finally decided I'm going to get a display to go along with me mbp!

so anyway, I've narrowed it down to 3, and I need your help deciding!

1. 23" Apple Cinema Display

2. 24" Dell

3. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=222-7315

any thoughts?

It is a common enough question on MacRumors and answered loads of times so a search would be enlightening…
However, personally, I would go (and have) with the Dell 24".
Unless style matters beyond all considerations of cost and added functionality, then the ACD.

I would also choose the Dell .... Great monitor and great price.

or you live in the uk, where the dell 2408 is actually more expensive

As such, i went for the 23" acd, although it hasn't been delivered yet!

I have the 2407wfp by dell, and couldn't be happier. And, may I add, it looks noticeably better than my housemate's 23" ACD and has a USB hub (very beneficial because I have a mbp) and a bunch of inputs (one of which is connected to my xbox) to boot. The colors are rich, detailed, and extremely accurate. No ghosting whatsoever.

Photographer-Graphic Designer needs a accurate monitor

Ok I have a new Mac Pro 8-core 3.2 Ghz.
I have been researching for monitor/s to go with it for over a month, and very sad at the offerings and expense. I have used two Hitachi 21" CRTs that have .18 dot pitch and great colors but of course they are very weak now. I had hoped that I could get two around 24". The last good posts seem to be about two years old. The buyers guide says the ACD are expected to be updated soon but I need something long before june/july. Im leaning mainly toward the 23" ACD at this time. (ps. Are the ACDs with the proper VESA mount able to be in portrait mount? ) HELP! please

You should go with the 27" Dell unless you want an Apple theme. Dells are nice
