    Who makes the display in the 24” iMac?

    How can we pressure them to release an ugly version of that display to hook up to our Mac minis, etc

    • I'm still amusing myself watching you guys just making bad decisions on new Apple tech...
      imac 24 was the best and only option this round...

    • design twitter already returning both displays and macs...grafician
    • @utopian are you sure? :))
      cuz I've seen LG displays and they're a joke
      So it's either Apple buying the best from LG and LG selling left-overs or...

    • ^ LG make the displays, but Apple engineers are behind the bespoke techinteliboy
    • @inteli cool, so they're doing the same thing as with the processorsgrafician
    • guess so? apparently it's a huge pain and expense to build your own fabricating factories, even for a giant like Apple.inteliboy
    • I think the question was actually if the Apple displays are actual LG display rebranded or LG just manufactures what Apple wantsgrafician
    • because even with the same process/fab the end results is highly variable (see processors)grafician
    • Lg manufactures different technologies at different price points. They might even use other brands panels in their lower end monitors.monNom
    • You’ve really got to pay attention to the specific technologies for the panel technology and backlight to compare apples to applesmonNom
    • Tftcentral.co.uk used to be quite good. Haven’t been there in a long while but worth a lookmonNom
    • Apply buys panels from LG but uses those in combination with other parts, layers and coatings, to make their unique displays.monospaced
    • There are plenty of monitors out there that are easily as good/better. The only reason to buy an Apple monitor would be for the logo and design, not quality.formed
    • It’s hard to find the same specs as Apple uses.monospaced
    • Slaves, in China make it.shapesalad
