No doubt this is a gorgeous flat panel LCD. Wish it was available in a glossy non-matte finish. The problem is that this LCD is WAY overpriced. Think about it, for $1800 you can buy a 46-52'' LCD TV nowadays and your only getting a 30'' LCD here with no TV. With TV prices and technological advances, this LCD should be no more than $600 - $700 if you think about it. I would totally wait for prices to drop or for new models to come out. Apple is due to come out with new models soon.
Rating: - Perfect size, great quality.
At first I thought this screen was going to be too big, but after a few days it felt just right. It's sharp and contrasty, and you can't really have enough screen real estate to keep multiple editor windows open. It does produce quite a bit of heat - hopefully Apple will come out with an LED lit version soon. Until then, this certainly beats the 23 inch, which was already a great screen. Apple uses high quality LCD panels and the image quality you get in return is very good. This is the perfect screen ... Read More
Rating: - Stunning Picture on this Display, could use a refresh in some specs...
Just got the 30" Apple Cinema Display, after agonizing for months on which brand/model to buy for a large desktop monitor. I've had this for 3 days now, hooked up to my 17" Mac Book Pro notebook, and my initial impression is that the picture is stunning, much better at home that when I've seen these on display at several other stores, including the Apple Store. The colors and brightness are amazing out of the box, and I still haven't had a chance to use a color calibration tool, waiting for a Huey Pro ... Read More

I love my Apple Cinematic Display. It's the best monitor I've ever had and I've had several. The color's crisp, the text is easy to read. Both computer and TV images are sharp and beautifully rendered. The tilt is a useful feature that prevents strain looking straight on.
Note: You do need to get the extended warranty. My display is currently in for service and I'm VERY glad I made the investment on the AppleCare service.

Rating: - Stunning
This is the very best monitor available. High quality digital photos take on a 3d look and it allows for several pages of text with room for tv in the corner.
I am running it with a Gateway DX440X which has a strong video card and it runs perfectly smoothly.
My photos from the national gallery are stunning. I didn't have any bad pixels that I can find...some have complained of that.
