It is unknown when the XL30 will be released in the US. If it is like with hard drives, it could be a couple of months later.

LG optical drives also seemed to be available in Europe before USA.

Current displays out of stock

Hi guys,

Just wanted to add that all 3 displays on the UK Apple Store are out of stock (when you try buy them seperately from a unit)

I think we'll get new ones pretty soon.

No Excuse, No FanBoy, Just Facts.

If "pro" is a excuse for the screen is outdated and it's -technically impossible to be bether then up to date screens - no they want release any of that stuff.sorry..haha..:)..fanboy...
Then i rather chose "consumer"..-lol...who knows when the new screens arrive a good tip is before christhmas matching the new mac pros..The summer is to late..I just hope they speed up/cange the macbook pro too:cool:

First off, if you want to throw darts at a pro, then please at least learn to spell and type.

Second, "Being a Pro," is not an excuse for choosing to buy a screen that lacks some "current" features in exchange for a tool that does a better job at executing tasks that professionals use to make a living and to satisfy clients.

No "Fanboy," here, just an experienced, smart, professional in print, web and multimedia.

Get the facts, use your brain to learn (would not hurt your credibility to learn to spell and type), and then come back to this discussion.

Repeat and return, my consumer friend.

+1

I tried to explain that the cheaper (TN) panels with fast response times are of interest mostly to gamers and others displaying motion video, and not to those interested in color accuracy and print media. But I don't think I got very far.

Meanwhile, I really love my ACD so far. Calibrated with Spyder2 and my photos look great on screen.

How you regard a pro does not sound right.It's like you telling me evryone can be a pro regarding the eye of the beholder.I can say i do this and this for living jadajadajada...
And if that so i'm a pro too!!:p.so what facts are you talking about? if you want to buy that display i'm not holding ya!!Just buy it.I wont buy beacuse its outdated and there are bether option in the market right now(maybe not designwise) and new cinemas are coming soon.
yeajjh..:)
Evryone is entitled to have their one opinion. If you can't respect that have can i respect you?.;)
Nice talking to you "pro".Like pro to pro:):p
 
Something is definitely up....

Someone mentioned at the beginning of this thread that the Displays were no longer graphically featured on the Apple Store page. It's almost like they've hidden Displays as much as possible, though: not only is that graphic link gone, the Displays text link on the sidebar is gone, as are any links from other relevant Apple products (like the Mac Mini).

These mysterious disappearances plus the apparent lack of availability in the UK online store and US retailers (Best Buy, etc.) make it pretty clear that Apple is at the very least interacting with their beloved but outdated displays in some manner....Whether that's a price drop or a total overhaul remains to be seen, but I suspect that if it were a price drop they would have left the Displays prominently featured right up until the drop occurred. I wouldn't be too surprised if they went ahead and released new non-LED displays now and then quietly updated the new model to LED when it becomes technologically feasible. We'll see.

Very interesting analysis. I have noticed that it has been less obvious on the US site how to navigate to the display page. The displays have been listed as a "Staff Pick" though recently and not sure if/what that could mean, other than it was just this product line's time to be rotated onto that page.

What I find most interesting is your thought that :apple: might actually release a new non-LED display now and then update later. I couldn't see them doing this in 2 stages, but it does kind of make sense. Especially if it's true that new Mac Pros are coming. Doesn't it seem like a new Mac Pro would be complemented by a new ACD?
 
ACD and MWSF 2008

So, if there is no update to the cinema displays with Leopard (and could there be a better way to showcase the new OS than on a new display?) or with the much-rumored new Mac Pro, was wondering if then we might next have the opportunity to see new ACDs at MWSF in January?

Question: since these displays are considered pro products and MWSF is a consumer event, is it completely unlikely that :apple: would unveil them at that event? Or, put another way, has :apple: ever released a new/refreshed pro line at MWSF?

If not, am guessing that the next time that would be obvious/logical would be at the developer's conference in June... Which seems a LONG time to wait!
 
It is very possible, especially because Apple has not stuck to the names of their conferences recently...

Thanks, that's encouraging information. Perhaps all hope is not lost for January then if October/November is a bust...

Amazing that there are almost never any rumors about this product line and endless rumors about almost all the rest! :rolleyes:

Where do you see this? When I look all three are showing ready to ship 24 hours right up to the point after entering payment details it say "Place order". Do you see this after you actually order one?
