Am i the only one who wants a some new displays? The current ones were realesed in summer '04 and with all the other companies cranking out (or about to) new displays with hdcp i think its apples turn, i just hope there not super thin cause i have always found super thin displays ugly but plan the unexpected cause since when does apple saw come have some fun, doesnt sound apple to me
 
What would they add to the displays? I think HD is already good enough for the time being. I just bought a display and I don't want it to be outdated now!

i'm going to assume that the displays will update once the Powermacs do.
I agree. If the new Powermacs retain the same design then the design of the displays won't change, just the interface.

If the design doesn't change then that's just fine by me. I love the design, of course I don't have one so maybe if I looked at one every day the design would get old. ;)

bigger?

maybe something in-between 30 and 23... making 23 baseline

more connections (like dells)

The fact that the smallest display is 20" already alienates a lot of potential buyers. I don't have any stats, but I'd venture a guess that the 20" is the best selling display by far. I think apple should come out with a 17" widscreen (ala imac)

New displays will have an iSight built in

I predict.

I agree, there also will probably be some size changes. If the appearance of the Powermac G5 changes at all, I assume the displays will too.

Hopefully in April??

Bleh! Make a 36" with a res of 4xxx by 2xxx and I'll be selling the 30!
 
I wish the displays were thinner... They're fat... Way too fat...
Like 1/5 the current thickness or something...

Hey, they did it for the MacBook Pro...

I would too, but it'd sure make an interesting predicament for those of us with two displays, or those walls of 30" displays! I'd suppose that you could get it built in for extra, or removed for less.

Don't worry, they'll come out with something awesome eventually. There'll be an entire new line of them by the end of the year.

Let's hope so. Really got my sights set on one when (and if) I can afford it!
