Apple Cinema HD Display - Flat panel display - TFT - 23" - 1920 x 1200 - 0.258 mm - DVI

The sheer size of these panels is fantastic, and although expensive, well worth the price. The design fits with the G5 well, and the inclusion of the USB2/FireWire hub is a great feature for running keyboards, mice and cameras.


20" is fine   April 1, 2005

I have the 20" monitor in the same range, and it's superb: I'm very happy with it (I didn't want to rate the 23" but couldn't post without doing so: sorry of this seems dishonest) . All monitors have the chance of being a bit off colour so to speak, and particularly so large LCDs, whether for computer monitors or TVs. The safest thing to do is to go to a shop and look at the specific monitor you're going to buy to make sure it's okay. Having said that, the quality of Apple's LCDs is usually amongst the very best. Comparing my 20" to the cheap LCDs used in my workplace the difference in quality is stark. While Apple's prices, like say Sony's, are somewhat higher than others, you only have one pair of eyes. If you're going to be looking at a screen all day make sure it's a good one!


DON'T BUY THIS SCREEN!   September 24, 2004

I've been an Apple user for over 10 years and am disappointed to have to write that this is a very sub-standard product. I bought one two months ago, which had to be replaced because the colour was uneven (yellowish tint at left-hand side) and there was an overall magenta cast over the whole screen.
The magenta cast can be dealt with through calibration, but the yellow dingy area on the left remained. A replacement arrived, and that wasn't as pink but had the same problem with a yellow tint on the left-hand side.
I asked for another replacement, and that had exactly the same problem.
This is probably the kind of fault that only graphics professionals and photographers will really notice, but on a screen this expensive, it is unacceptable.
Apple will tell you that there is no problem, but if you don't believe me, simply type in "Apple+23+cinema+problem(+colour)" into a search engine and take a look at any of the forums that are discussing this issue - I found several.
I hope that this review helps some people to void the problems I had - which, for 1200, you shouldn't have to put up with.
