WWDC: New LCD Monitors

Apple released new Displays today... ending a long wait.

The new screens sport a new adjustable aluminum case design as depicted by ThinkSecret's artist renditions. Meanwhile, last minute notes about pricing proved to be correct with the new designs coming in at the following prices:

30" - $3299.00
23" - $1999.00
20" - $1299.00

The new displays offer a single unified cable coming from the monitors which then split into DVI, USB 2.0, Firewire 400 and Power connectors.

Apple Store has the updated monitors for sale.

They're cool monitors- and a plus- the 17 incher is only 699 now. Its good that they match the powerbook and powermac.

i think they dont look very nice at all.... the look dare i say it... dell-ish

Wow, it was hard for me to justify the price of my 23 incher, now, WOW a 30" model, plus the 600 for the video card, I wish I could afford it . . .

I believe the 17"er was always $699...

Well, I had hoped for the lower pricing reported earlier, but I'll get a new 20" anyway. Any word on when they will be available?

The new monitors cost too much. It seems like a no brainer to pay and extra 300 bucks to upgrade from a 23 to 30, but the cost of the required graphics card is crazy.

I think there needs to be a price cut, soon.

The apple store said it would be delivered in 2-4 weeks.

I've been waiting for those for quite a while now. Seeing 'em revealed now, I'm not actually stunned. I prefer the old look, can't use the 30" on my G4, the resolution of the 23" is still the same. But what about the other specs? Has anyone still got the old specs? I'd love to see a comparison. I wonder if I should try to get one of the old 23" for a reasonably low price from a local reseller - like about 1500 Euros (compared to 2200 for the new one). How much better are the new displays, espescially the 23" HD?

thats awesome..... but how do you hook up 2 23 inchers to a radeon 9800 XT if it has i dvi and 1 adc???

I was really hoping for a $999 entry level 20" monitor, but I guess you can't have everything. I figured they would go with the one cable splitting into a FW, USB, Power, and Video. It's a very good solution to the clutter problem. I just wish Apple sold some aluminum speakers that sat on the side of the monitors. That would be kick A$$.

Are there ADC to DVI adapters? If so, then that is one way.
