Checking in as one with a new 15" MBP, the one with the 1GB video card, and a 24" LED Cinema Display, no flickering here (yet). Of course, since I just said that, I'll probably start seeing problems 
Got a tip for us?

I agree with you whole heartedly about Dell systems (horrendous PWS, cheap components...etc); but when it comes to their ultrasharp displays...sorry man youre wrong
theyre awesome awesome products.PS: IF you REALLY can get Dell products for free...Hmm, care to make 200.00 for snagging me a 27inch UltraSharp? PLEASE!

I agree - Dell do some fantastic displays. Even down to the stand, allowing full 360 rotation! I ended up buying a pare of 24" Samsung monitors for my Mac Pro but will be using Dell's next time. Side-by-side the quality of them is highly noticeable.
I love macs as much as the next guy, but can people stop being so childish with the dell remarks? They make computers, the computers work - period.

More QA issues at Apple? Not good for a premium laptop and premium screen!

Personally I don't have experience w/ Dell ultrasharp displays.
My ex-roommate's dad from my undergrad days is the COO of Dell's Printer/Scanner Division based in ATX and she was able obtain anything Dell she wanted for free and offered to do the same for me. I've been out of undergrad for nearly a decade but still keep in touch with her via FB. Maybe I'll ask her for a favor.
Pretty much.
AFAIK, Apple has never made a 24 inch ACD w/o LED. They made a 22 and 23 inch, but never a 24 inch.
i don't understand this whole Thunderbolt crap! why did they add that port when there's no products out there use it? when is it going to be mainstream? in 20 years?
cool.
cool.
I've had the blackout issues on my 24" ACD for ages now (Mac Pro, ATI 4870). Sometimes it will go days without blacking out, other times it will black out several times over a few hours. No way to replicate it.
I've spent hours reading support threads (like this one) to find no answers. At the time my unit was under warranty, I was at least 4 hours from the nearest Apple store.
I just live with it, because 99.999999999% of the time, it's a gorgeous display.
Maybe they'll issue a firmware fix and all will be resolved... I'm not holding my breath though.

Cool. BTW: I was only .000000000001 % joking about the monitor purchase, so let me know if your connections work out
Apple really need to stop letting these things happen. When did all of these quality assurance issues start arising? It definitely wasn't as common in, say, 2008.
Don't they have a "Chief Officer for Quality Control"?

What confused me was the inclusion of a Thunderbolt port + firewire...Hmm. If anything, Id think giving them dual thunderbolt ports would be best...cause heaven forbid you want to use an external monitor AND some external storage(High IO) at the same time. Weird huh.

Like how mainstream firewire is today?
Hopefully they figure this out and get it fixed ASAP.

Don't hold your breath.
There's only a .00000000001% chance he's not full of ****.
