2 2405FPws have more pixels than one 30" Cinema display

And 2 of them put together are cheaper

Can't do portrait mode = waste of money. Pair of Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW will bitch slap it all over the place.

Or maybe they are selling a single 30" widescreen monitor that looks phenominal.

Picture quality is phenomenal, but I do hate the new aluminum frame look. I actually prefer the translucent style frame.

it does look great and i prefer the new aluminum look, i am suprised they did not use it sooner because of their G4 & G5 line of desktop cases.

Is there a windows vidcard that can run the 30" apple? to my understanding the new 512mb geforce 6800 ultra will be able to run these because of their dual link DVI transceivers which sitll have a driver problem not letting it run 2560x1600 in SLI mode which is the monitors native resolution. SO until then you need a workstation graphics card to run the 30" apple on a PC =\

I CAN ALSO BUY 4 17'' lcd's. the point is, the unified solution has more sex appeal.

No portrait mode = :thumbsdown:

My 2005FPw has got me hooked on portrait

Necessity for Dual-Link DVI = :thumbsdown:

Lack of monitor controls for non Mac OS = :thumbsdown:

Requirement to pull out a 2nd mortgage to buy one = :thumbsdown:

No component/s-video/composite = :thumbsdown:

The 30" would be my choice :)

I already have a 23" but if the 30" was out when I was buying with the money I spent I could have gotten it!

The need for a dual link DVI kind of sucks as that means pulling more money out for the dam graphics card :p
