BenQ E2200HD
i am on the look out to buy a new 24 inch monitor is there any that people could recommend to me, i was looking at an Apple Cinema Display but they are SOO expensive! does anyone know why they are so much more expensive other than because they are an apple product?
 but yeah all recommendations and reasoning would be great  Cheers iMac ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 ::: Intel Core2Duo 2.93GHz ::: NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 256MB ::: 4GB DDR3 RAM Milanca Project ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 Retail ::: Vanilla Kernel ::: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz ::: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB ::: 4GB DDR2 RAM ::: GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R Last edited by Aydinz; 06-17-2009 at 10:49 AM.

Well, Apple Cinema Display is expensive because it's made from aluminium, i guess it has LED matrix which is expensive, and...it's Apple so it has to be expensive
 ( i guess it's not really worth the price...but still i'd like to have one ) Anyway, If you need it just for home work, so it doesnt have to be anything special - take a look at BenQ E22HDA, it's 22,5 inch, but has 1920x1080 resolution, VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs, works quite well, looks nice, and in comparison to other brands it's dirt cheap.

I love the apple (20") cinema display. If you have the money then I'd say its definetly worth it. Just dont let your friends throw CD's at it....

The Apple Cinema Display only has a Mini DisplayPort connector which only works with the new range of macs. Until someone releases an adapter or manufacturers start shipping graphics cards with a DisplayPort interface, you'll have to choose another i'm afraid.

umm i have a slight problem, any help would be absolutely great
the colour profiles on OS X dont seem to change the colour settings on my display, i can change it manually through my display but not through the System Preferences, why is this? i could do it on my old monitor, its just that i want Apple RGB colour profile and i cant seem to get it replicated manually Thanks 💡 Deploy cloud instances seamlessly on DigitalOcean.
