Apple Cinema screens are pretty mediocre from a technical
standpoint.Their contrast ratio is average, color is off, response time
is horrible (26ms) and there is no OSD. That's a pretty big design
flaw. A comercial monitor that can't be calibrated easily because you
can't get a numerical value for your brightness, contrast, color
settings, ect. Also have to say the power/dvi/usb/firewire cable is the
worst idea ever. Now if you have a tall tower, the outboard power brick
is dangling a good 4 inches from the ground. And who uses an outboard
power brick on good lcds these days? Oh yeah, and don't bother getting
it if you plan on watching HD-DVD or Blue Ray, because so far it seems
like they both use Intel based DRM, and that means there is encryption
from the source all the way to the monitor / tv. Just buy a 4:3 lcd and
save ur pennies for a widescreen when they become better and
incorperate Intel DRM.
