i bought the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display.
it kicks ass
- poomoo0
right wait a minute - this has just confused me.
all i need is a good display to hook up my macbook to. i wont be connecting any games consoles or anything else other than my mac.
ill design for web, all the time and watch some porn the rest of the time.
i have used a dell flat panel in work 19'' 1905FP, http://www.itcsales.co.uk/acatal…
like i said earlier - i want to replace my crt. i have yet to find a flat panel display that was as crisp as a crt.
i am looking for something that is much better quality to the 19'' model above.
i also want it widescreen cause my mac is.
im guessing by all the comments - and the archived one that the dell will be a good option.
i think/hope/know all you dudes are good designers with a good eye for it all and wont accept pishy, blurry text etc etc on yer displays.
so... the dell 20 incher widescreen it is then?

they aren't all the same. the dell 24" uses an s-pva panel where as apple uses an s-ips panel for its 23".

then take the new cheaper 20" dell (no usb hub, no S/composite video in, higher response rate) and spend the change during the next nt drinks

I know, I know, I'm just saying it has other potentials other than just a second display (albeit a great second display at that). I was just saying what *I* use mine for in addition to hooking it up to my MBP.

just to be clear... cause im stupid - (most of) you are recommending this one?
...remembering the 24incher is too expensive.

Yes poomoo that's the one.
What I like most about it, with this one you don't even have to use the monitor of your MBP. I can fit everything on the 20 WS. All the photoshop windows fit with room to spare.
I only have itunes and Entourage running on the MBP I have pushed back to the back of my desk.
It's fantastic. Enjoy!

2407fpw is bigger. if you do print work, you should possibly consider that one. if you have a small desk, you probably shouldn't.
Nairnthanks Nairn - now I want this, too.

(Dec 19 06, 07:49)"See, I have both the 17" MBP and the 20" WS filled up depending on what I'm working on. The WS = usually reserved for iChat, safari, and iTunes while I work in either Photoshop or Logic. Logic I get to have the WS used for my instruments, iChat, and web as well. Keeps everything organized. I find myself highly cramped for space since I switched to the dual display with the MBP/WS about 2 weeks ago when I only have 1 20" Cinema to work on at work. Granted it's temporary and I'm moving to a dual 20" cinema workstation shortly, but still :D

just to throw something else into the mix...

that model is cheaper and seems not that much different from the afore mentioned one except it has a faster response time.
hmmm?
- rafalski0
Did you read my previous posts poomoo? It is a new model, pressumably 2007 stripped off s/composite video ins and usb hub. It has a higher response rate, which would be good.
It might be worth checking for reviews, to make sure display quality hasn't been compromised in any way, but it looks like winner to me.
- poomoo0
yeah i did - i thought u meant this one but wasnt too sure as i had become far to confused to process any further information and decided to load the spinning beach ball of death in an attempt to fool you with the pretty colours while not looking stupid.... *breaths*
i shall indeed search for reviews on this and report back diligently.
