Apple Cinema Displays

[Debbie Z]

I am wondering if anyone has one of these? I am looking for a widescreen monitor to use on my desktop in conjunction with my Macbook Pro. I am trying to do research, but I am having trouble finding these being reviewed next to other monitors. They are pricey, but are they worth it? I saw one at a friend's house and the display is awesome. Thanks for any information

I own one of these, 20", and they're better than anything I have seen lately. They have a very wide angle of view, they not too bright compared to some other manufacturers who compensate the poor contrast ratio with a higher contrast resulting in images that look incredibly brilliant, but it's impossible to distinguish the details, subtle tones, which makes retouching pictures almost impossible. The definition is exceptional, they really display everything.

They also pack two firewire and two usb 2.0 ports.

They're pricey, but if you're serious about photo retouching, they're worth it.

That said, if they're too far away from your budget, consider the Dell. It got great reviews and cost a little less. It's not the best, but for the money, you'll get a great value.
