"i can put [the dock] on the BOTTOM, i can put it on the LEFT, i can put it on the RIGHT, but NOOOOOO!!! I CAN'T PUT IT ON THE TOP!! THAT'S RESERVED FOR THE MIGHTY BLUE APPLE!" :laugh:
aside from the obvious reasons. is there anything special? anything at all? I do not understand why they are able to charge that much and yet some how stay competitive
Yup. Not to mention that all signs point to the Dell 2005FPW being basically the same monitor (as the Apple 20"), but in a different package (and the Apple doesn't even let you rotate, to my knowledge). I got my 2005FPW for $564.

Heh, how did you manage that? I think my pre-tax price was $521...

Looking at the photos of the Apple monitor, there doesn't seem to be any way to rotate the screen at all based on the design of the stand.
I am also curious about the cable they use. I know it's one cable for power, usb, and dvi. And Apple has said they have done back to dvi and sperate connectors, rather than their proprietary ADC connector. But what does the other end of the cable look like? How much slack is there for each cable/connector? I would like to see a picture of that.
I'm also not sure I like the location of the USB ports on the monitor, I wish they were on the base but it looks like the base is just a thin piece of machined aluminum. I do like how the controls are touchpads on the side of the monitor though.

Whoa. Does Apple even sell a 15" or 17" monitor anymore? Is 20" the smallest they will sell you?
For photo work I have to put in a pitch for the Samsung 243T. BAD ASS.
For movies it's OK, a little bit of ghosting. Gaming the same thing... some games seem fine, others (like doom 3) have pretty bad ghosting. It's also great for 3D modeling.
But really, photo work is so amazing on here it's worth the price. And it's not that much more than a grand.
