i have seen pictures of this thing on the internet, but today i went down to compusa and looked at one.  its a huge fucking lcd. like fucking huge. and i think it supports dvi. so whenever i get 2500 or so, i might want to hook on to my linux box. jesus, 1600x1200. holy fuck is all i have to say. it was awinspiring.

There are better 21"/22" LCDs on the market going for abour 2100 bucks by Panasonic. And I always thought Apple branded monitors used a special connector (not the usual VGA cables PCs (I mean x86 based PCs, don't kill me) use)...

yeah, they use the apple display connector or a dvi connecter, that would mean that i would have to get a different geforce card. but still. this thing is fucking huge, like you woulding get how big it is unless you like use it,

I went to a local department store and checked it out. It was linked to a lonely G4 cube running OS X... of course, I ran several terminal windows to the shocked expressions of the countless morons buying Compaqs.

i was in the process of installing mozilla on all the macs, but i didn't have enough time, but it would have been cool, and i still can't get over the size of the cinima display, i think i might try to get a second job after i get my first one

Apple makes a ADC-DVI converter ($150)

Apple's displays are the best, meaning of the highest quality and brightness.

It's 1600x1900...jesus...I want one too! My CRT here goes to 1944x16-Something on a Radeon VIVO 64 DDR. *Hot Shit in Q3*

BTW: Who is still selling cubes?

the CTX H2300 is brighter, but goes at a lower resolution (1600*1200).

im already running at 1600x1200, im thinking about buying a sun moniter rated at 2056x1536/*or something like that*/ at 60 hertz, or 1600x1200@85 hertz but an apple cinimame display is cool, im starting to wonder how many hours i can work a week with school and all that, to first pay for insurance, and then buy an apple cinima dispaly
