Oh my goodness...the 20" Apple Cinema Display just got steamrolled. Badly.
Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW:
- Size: 20.1" viewable
- Dot pitch (lower = better): 0.255 mm pixel pitch
- Max/Native Res: 1680x1050
- Brightness (higher = better): 300 cd/m2
- Contrast Ratio (higher = better): 600:1
- Response time (lower = better): 12 ms
- Connections: DVI, VGA, S-Video, 4 USB 2.0 ports
- Price: $799. (before rebates)
Compare that to:
Apple 20" Display:
- Size: 20" viewable
- Dot pitch (smaller = better): 0.258 mm pixel pitch
- Max/Native Res: 1680x1050
- Brightness (higher = better): 250 cd/m2
- Contrast Ratio (higher = better): 400:1
- Response time (lower = better): 16 ms
- Connections: DVI, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 2 Firewire 400 ports
- Price: $1,299. WTF?
Good job ripping off your loyal (can we say a little too loyal?) customers, Apple.
