No. I have a Dell 23" monitor and it's just as good as a Cinema display and about 2/3 the price. It also has card reader slots on the side. Pricewise there are tons of brands that are significantly cheaper than Apple monitors. I suggest doing a price and feature comparison on a site like CNet and asking some people (like us).
- Not all Dells same as Cinema Display (my Dell 24" wasn't... had blue-ish tinge in blacks, variable brightness)ribit
- dell doesn't make a 23" with an IPS panel, so it's not as good as the apple, sorryacescence
- that's what people that bought dell's want to believe, but its not.
its 2/3 of the qualityMeeklo

Im writing this entry from my local library. WHY my local library, you may ask? because my Apple Cinema 30" Display has gone belly-up on me and has "burnt out". Ive taken care of it (putting it to sleep when Im not around) and everything! Talked to Apple about, they could care less. (and that does it for my crying session, thanks for indulging)

the panels that Apple uses are all LG Phillips S-IPS panels. a lot of other manufacturers use the same panels but charge a lot less.
go to this site, plug in the model or manufacturer or whatnot and it will tell you what is inside...

S-IPS and H-IPS have superior color accuracy over any other panel type.
