Beware!

Be careful with this product. There are a number of problems present in the current model of the 30" ACD.The most notable one is the famous 'pixel-dancing' or flickering problem. You can read all about it in the following Apple discussion thread:[...]Scroll down to the end and you'll see that this problem is still very much present in these displays.I'm now going for my second replacement since I purchased the original display, and I hope I get a decent display this time. It seems to be a hit or...

Does not work with PNY Verto 6600GT !

For the ones reading the previous reviews here .. this 30" does NOT work with the PNY Verto 6600GT. I assume the version of the PNY 6600GT that is produced now is different from the older one (which had 2 DVI ports, the new ones have 1 DVI and 1 VGA). The newer one is not dual-link-DVI capable, it's not possible to run 2560 x 1600 with that graphics card (I just tried, bought the PNY 6600GT from Amazon, but I have to return it because it doesnt work with the 30" display).Regarding the display :...

Just a note - not compatible with new MacBooks, but is with MacBookPro

Although this is listed in the "compatible monitors" section by Amazon for the newly announced (yesterday?) MacBooks (the iBook replacements), you need a dual link DVI output to drive this monitor - the MacBook does not have this video output while the MacBook Pro does....

Apple 30 inch 270nit model

So I managed to get a hold off an older gen 30inch. I a will simply say that I LOVE IT !!. Totally awesome to play games, write code (Definitely) and pretty much everything. The colours on the monitor are almost photo like.I have had it the better part of a week and I am comparing it to a DELL 2405, yes an unfair comparison but its something. I also like the fact that there is virtually no screen door!If you have the dosh or get a good deal on a used one like I did, get it. You will not regret the...

nothing short of perfect!

Owning this monitor so far (two months) has been just wonderful! It took no time at all for me to get utterly spoiled by having a huge space to open multiple documents, multiple programs, everything at my fingertips. Plus, the display quality is drop-dead gorgeous. (And since I spend 8-12 hours a day staring at it, that's a big deal!) I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in the market for a high-end monitor....
