Some of you might think it is expensive (and compared to others currently offered, it probably is), but if you already paid a lot of bucks for a mac you don't want a less than perfect monitor working along with it. Maybe.
** One note - although it doesn't matter to me, the monitor uses a power brick which makes the power cable a little bulky. But in every other way, its about as perfect a product as you will find.
I have purchased two of these and have not had a single problem from them. Expensive.
I just stuff it all behind the desk so no big deal but it could be to you. It is a beautiful monitor and rock solid in operation.
You're going to be looking at it all day so you may as well get the coolest one you can find, and in my opinion, this is it.
If you were not fortunate to purchase monitor exchange warranty (highly recommended, Compusa, Staples other offer it) and if this thing in one year fails it will be cheaper to buy a new one than fix an old one.Overall, my point is: it is a fine monitor for general computing and if you are willing to pay extra for its appearance it is fine. And it makes the monitor even less attractive and more expensive. This mount is a standard feature of any, even cheapest, LCD monitors these days.
First one for more than three years and another one is one year younger. The monitors are horribly overpriced, for the price of one you can buy TWO monitors of better quality and serviceability. I own two of these.
The monitors do not have VESA mount adapter (required for arm or wall mounting) and Apple wants to rob you of additional $30 for plain piece of metal. However if any color or movement sensitive considerations in the terms of pro-level work flow it is not one would put on my list.For the money there are MUCH BETTER alternatives. Apple positions these as pro level monitor with superb tech specks and capable of great color accuracy.
While the monitors are esthetically pleasing, the technical capacity is very low, color calibration is very difficult as two monitors exhibit very different color casts and brithness.Even pro level calibration set could not eliminate it completely and it needs to be recalibrated very often.The monitors are terribly SLOW with 14 ms times and not even in the league to compete in pro level status with today alternatives as fast as 2-4 ms.
I found no defects in mine. And it's 20" size is ample for what I do. Though it could be cheaper, it's worth the $600 I spent on it. This display is not only nice to look at but provides excellent picture quality. It provides a sharp picture with bright, rich colors.
This monitor is a perfect fit for my new MacPro 2.66GHz Computer.I cannot find any missing pixels.brightness and color are great.Only blemish is a small spot on the lower front of the aluminum frame where the anodizing failed to cover the spot.
We didn't buy this Apple display because, at that time, it was too high priced for our budget. Maybe my wife and I should consider selling our very good ViewSonic displays and replacing them with this topnotch Apple model which we bother admire so thoroughly. Recently, my wife and I each upgraded our venerable Sony Trinitron CRT displays to widescreen Viewsonic LCD displays. But now Apple has reduced the price of this outstanding display, and it now clearly is the best choice in a 20" widescreen LCD display. If you are looking for a widescreen LCD display please check out this gorgeous Apple display whether you use a PC or a Mac. The major reason we bought new displays was their large size and widescreen aspect ratio which provides plenty of desktop space and obviates the need for scrolling when working with wide applications, which are becoming fairly common these days. When we chose our ViewSonic displays we both really wanted this 20" Apple display which had the best picture of all the displays we viewed.
