Dell ’s Ultrasharpline of monitors were dear competition to Apple ’s gorgeous LCDs . But that was before today . Most Apple screens just became importantly more affordable , with a slim lift to their cleverness military rank . The 20 - incher drops $ 100 to $ 699 , and now glow at 300 standard candle - power per meter squared ( cd / m2 ) instead of 250cd / m2 . The 23 - incher , which we believe is the perfect size for monitor hungry but not - so - rich eccentric cast a whopping $ 300 to $ 999 , and gets a significant boost to its backlight to 400 cd / m2 ( from 270 cd / m2 . ) And the big poppa 30 - inch exhibit dribble $ 500 to $ 1999 , although it does n’t get any undimmed . All displays now have 700:1 contrast ratios , and all still make my essence pound sterling when I see them running OS X. Fanboy out of the closet ! ( More details and a Dell Comparo after the start . )
Here ’s aCNet reviewof the big monitor vs its lifelike competition , a30 - inch Dell Ultrasharp . It ’s really freak long , but we ’ve linked to the conclusion , and by the way , the Cinema exhibit win . Sorry , never could keep a closed book .
The monitors still have respective resolution of 1680 x 1050 , 1920 x 1200 , and 2560 x 1600 . And if you ’ve forgotten , the 30 - incher only knead with most PowerMacs , the Mac Pro , and the 17 and 15 - inch laptop .
