Much improved from first generations of these........2007-05-12

First versions had some burn in issues. Seems to have been resolved. Great monitors.

Incredibly bright displays.......2006-12-21

I'm running two of these beautifully designed displays and must agree with others, these things are bright. I usually run these with the brightness turned up no higher than 50%. Although I admit that I do not do any print related work, these displays are exceptional for web design work.

It went dark after 6 months.......2006-10-12

I bought this monitor in April, 2006. For six months it was great. Then it stopped working. It's under warranty, so I am hoping to get it fixed at Apple's expense.

But I ask you, what kind of quality control does Apple use? And what can I expect after the warranty runs out next April?

I am deeply disappointed. I have been using Apple computers for 22 years. This was the first time I bought an Apple monitor. It is also the last time.

Oh sooooo bright!.......2006-10-03

Super clean, slick design, sharp....AND BRIGHT. After a few days of solid use I noticed my eyes started to hurt. I had a burning sensation in them as I went to bed. It almost felt as though I was out in the sun all day. Finally I realized that the screen was just too bright and it was hurting my eyes. I actually had to turn down the brightness level down a few notches and now I'm in great shape! It's a great quality purchase that I would highly recommend.... But don't look at it too long at 100% brightness or you might get your eyes burned, or you may get sunburned. :)

A superlative monitor!!.......2006-08-10

I got a 20" cinema display last week, and just found out that Apple dropped its monitor price. I went back to the store and exchanged this 23" HD cinema display instead. I think it's a bit too big for me, but for the price I got this display; I have no complaints. I was thinking about buying an inferior monitor, such as a Dell monitor. I wanted to save money, but I'm glad that I didn't, because I would be greatly annoyed every time when I use it. Dell's computers, monitors...etc. are bulky and rough looking... (well, if you want to be like macho macho... well, Dell is the only way to go....)
I'm an artist, so I'd rather have something that is visually pleasing. Buying a big monitor like this one is like buying a piece of furniture. You are going to see it every day, so there you go... Apple cinema display makes my room look bigger even though the monitor is way bigger than my previous one (Viewsonic 17" CRT).
As for the performance, it's impeccable. It's bright and I have to turn the brightness setting down to the bottom. It simply blows away any monitors that I have ever seen. I like the antiglare type, not the glossy one. I heard of a rumour that Apple may produce another monitor which is bigger than 30" and it's glossy kind as their new MacBooks. However, I don't know it for sure. Therefore, I'd rather get this 23" HD cinema display before it's discontinued. In short, you pay for what you get.
