Apple Cinema Display Updates?
Meanwhile, ThinkSecret posted an unconfirmed report earlier today that suggests that Apple LCD case revisions are not expected, and will merely see updated internal components.
The 30" Apple LCD rumor first appeared on our 2002 Rumor Reject list. Two rumor items (iTunes Music Store and Keynote) have since come true from that list. The 30" LCD rumor was later revived in March 2003 with an unconfirmed resolution from the now-defunct MacWhispers.com.
Both ThinkSecret and Appleinsider also hint at iBook and eMac revisions later this year.

Apple needs entry level display for people that are buying PowerMacs and even notebooks. Without 17", the lowest priced apple display would be 20" at almost $2,000 CAD.
Maybe they will replace 17" with 17" wide? :confused:

2400x1500

If the 17 is discontinued, there's nothing to say that Apple wouldn't drop the price of the 20"
Even still, I doubt the 17 will be dropped.
I mean, how useable would a screen that size be? You would have to constantly turn your head back and forth just to see each edge of the screen.

Would a 30" screen even be practical?

That's why it's usable. Multi-display systems are the standard in my company, and on a good percentange of power-user's home systems. That resolution contains roughly the number of pixels of three 1280x1024 displays (usually 17"-19") in a large format. For users who need multiple windows (code, consoles, web pages, design programs, etc...) this could be an attractive offering. And no screen bezels to get in the way.
On the other hand, I like to have my three LCD's in a curved formation so that each screen is equidistant from my eyes. Having a widescreen of that size *might* be disorienting, but you wouldn't catch me complaining.
