the dvi cable in itself is the best of it.

still... 30-inch... OMFG!!!

and to think i'd drool (and STILL WILL) over the 23-inch ones

I work at comp usa and I can also attest to this.. Our Apple rep was saying how they have some new monitors in the works and if I thought the 23" was huge just wait.. So I will also confirm this rumor..

23" = :woot:

30" = :wankit1:

Holy hell (I love saying that) that is freaking huge! Who honestly needs a monitor that big? :blink:

****ing hell guys!

this isn`t an announcement, it`s a damn rumour! :rant:

and by the way this rumour is 2 days old and i knew about it as soon as it appeared.

my heart skipped a beat when i saw the title of this thread and i jumped to apple.com to see the new beauties just to find them non-existant <_<

for rumours go to www.appleinsider.com or www.thinksecret.com, not aqua-soft.org <_<

be carefull with the titles next time!

Hehe sorry to sound plug-y but here's a mocked up Apple front with new display I made a few days ago;

Click for larger.

Personally, I trust Apple to make the displays look nice and feel "fresh" and original. The artist's impression looks very similar to Eyegonomic displays, but that's hardly a BAD thing.. ;)

i`d rather take one of those 30 inchers <_<

PS i write for an Apple owned magazine and i`m still waiting for a confirmation from my boss. Don`t get me wrong but i doubt that CompUSA pple would know about the new displays before pple at Apple. I`m not saying they`re not coming, i`m just saying that i still don`t have confirmation.

If this is really released it would probably be $2999 (US)... I would never buy it for a computer monitor because I prefer looking at something I can see all of at once when it comes to computers.
