Why? Dell lovers will still be buying the same screen for a typically much lower price.

hmn. so you pay 200 extra bucks for the apple's case design and the annoying touch-sensitive buttons...and no on screen controls.

and of course no dell rebates. which can be considerable....


interesting. at least apple isn't charging more for a flat-out inferior display...that's good news.

Seriously. "Hah! Our previously inferior product is now equal to yours! Take that, Dell!"

RDF, anyone?

The Dell 30" display was on sale for one day last week, it was $1499 Cdn (or roughly $1200 USD). If I only had a video card capable of driving it, I would have bought one.

Yup. Here in Norway the Apple-version is almost 28% more expensive than the Dell. And the Dell even looks good. :)

Only 300 duckets. I'll take an aluminum display over plastic anyday, but then again, I don't need all the inputs etc that come with the Dell. Well that, and it's ugly. :p
