Yeah I'm sure that piss poor TN panel will compare well.
Why not compare it to a $5000 EIZO whilst you're there.
Got a tip for us?

Why not compare it to a $5000 EIZO whilst you're there.
I run those monitors on my mac pro. After a Spyder color calibration they work out fine. I'm still getting used to the semi gloss though.
There's a reason professional CRTs tended to ship with hoods… to block the god damned glare. I've taken a 15" MacBook Pro home to have a play and was happy to bring it back the next day.
It's Apple's way of appealing more to the college kids and trendtards, and forgetting about the people who kept them in business when they weren't the "cool" computer to have: The media professionals.
I agree, but with a Mac Pro, you can use whichever monitor you like. The Macbook Pro screen? Well notebook screens are notoriously crap for any kind of color work, matte or glossy.
Sure, but Apple used to be a go-to for high quality desktop displays, and it really screws over people who need to have their POs issued to one supplier.
As for MBP screen, yeah the old one sucks in terms of color work, but I mean just using it on the couch on stuff it was annoying as hell.
Apple hasn't had the best of luck with Displays or even their new notebooks that these are only compatible with.
So don't rip on a person without looking at the big picture OR in this case the wavy and black screen of death on new displays.
Apple investigating graphics issues on new MacBook lines

Beta testers all over again...
Not really dongles. Converter boxes. DVI can't just be pin-adapted to DisplayPort. They'll be stupidly expensive and annoying to use.
Go go gadget proprietary engineering!
ANyone buying a brand new product from Apple is kinda nuts, in my opinion. I learned the hard way when I was young, naïve, and thought Apple could do no wrong. I'm told that there's a damned good reason these displays took so long to ship, and it wasn't because they couldn't buy enough pixels from Pixels R Us.
It has 3 USB ports so you could use a USB-Audio adapter and leave your headphones plugged into that
I couldn't agree with you more. This is a great buy so long as it is an H-IPS panel.
I've noticed.
The preponderance of mediocre yet appealing products from Apple make it pretty clear that users like myself are no longer a priority. Hopefully they don't do something stupid with the Mac Pro and thereby screw up the last remaining product I'd buy from Apple (except for the iPod touch and/or nano, I suppose)
Just a shame almost all these audio interfaces use Firewire, unless you want something utterly crap, or maybe an M-Box.
Firewire is missing on the new displays. As a professional the Firewire port in the screen is always used for something, most people I know use it also.
Different connector cable
Am I right in thinking that this new LED Screen connects to the new Macbook's with a detachable cable?, There is no ports on the screen apart from the USB. is there anything stopping Apple from releasing a different cable with the power+USB+DVI connector on it to use with older MacBook Pro?? Would the cable from an older Cinema display work?? if so I would definitely buy one straight away.

If you work somewhere that does not allow cameras they are not going to allow a MacBook/MacBook Pro anyway - they all have one built in as well - this monitor is designed as a companion to the MacBook line.
Hence the first sentence of my post. " I hope the rest of the cinema display line doesn't go this way."
Apple hates professionals now. We don't matter because we don't buy a new machine every time they get bumped, just to make sure we're still cool.
So what makes it Macbook only?
What makes it a MacBook only device? Yeah, it's got the cool charger cord but if they disco'ed the older ones (haven't looked) then why come out with one for the notebooks only.

I wonder if these new LED Displays were suppose to be the whole Display-Docking Station:

it wouldnt be sooo glossy if you removed the protective film.
and if it wasnt as such an obscene angle.
i like hte new glass enclosed displays, i have never had a single issue doing graphic work on them.
Actually they look richer on the glossy display and when i view them on matte displays they look perfect. so i think they actually help with accuracy.

So...
So Apple still sells the older 20 and 30 inch but for the folks that have the 24 inch, denied?
The main reasont hat I swollowed hard and bought the 20 inch display is because it perfectly matched the existing display in my iMac...

Older models have been discontinued and cannot be bought, you'll be pressed to find a refurb now too,
