I really like it, amazing value and quality for such a small HD camcorder. The quality in good lighting conditions has blown me away.

Gorgeous setup Glenn. Your setup is as clean and classy as your website. You've pretty much got the setup I want. Some day....

 

[vivalanation734]

I envy your 30" monitor muchly.

nick - why did you decide to go with the apple 30" instead of the dell 30"? i thought you were originally going to use a dell display --

any insight would be great -

thanks,

matt

Simple, Apple Displays have better color. Specs might be similar on paper but other components such as the quality of the backlight etc.. make a difference.

In the end it came down to two things. Style and price. Firstly, style. The Apple Cinema Display is miles ahead of Dell's displays in terms of graceful design, I consider a display as part of the rooms furniture, and the Apple Cinema Display shines in this retrospect.

Look at it this way, I'm never going to sit here and think "I wish I cheaped out and saved $200 for the Dell", but sitting here with the Dell I might think "I wish I spent the little extra for the Apple display."

Agreed. I mean once you spend a few thousand on a desktop system, 200 bucks is chumpchange to have a much nicer monitor. I never did understand why people would spend 3G's on a Mac Pro and then go cheap by 200 dollars for a Dull monitor.

By working. I'm a freelance writer for various publications both in print and online.

This is actual use, other than the original photo, I have two other items on my desk. My Canon 350D, and My Canon TX1. I love working in a clean working space.

Completely agreed. OCD'ers unite!

 

[RainCityMacFan]

Wow that's class...

You should try and see if a VESA wall mount would look better or not.

Sorry, nice set up.
