Well, the rumors were true. Apple finally made those aluminum-enclosure non-ADC LCDs with a split cable.

30 inch is 3299 and you have to buy a 599 graphics card to run the dual dvi...
still if you have the money it would be sweet g |

Color me very disappointed. There's no mention of the 17" LCD -- is it being dropped? And there's no price drop or quality bump on the 20". These screens are how many years old?
*sigh* Well, at least Apple pulled its head out of its butt and figured out how to split the cable and drop ADC. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

So I spose the dual dvi connector means it is impossible to have a dual 30" set-up

No iMac G5s. Keep the speculation in the Speculation and Rumors forum, please.

So how can this thing drive two 30" displays if each display requires 2 DVI ports?

It can't, not as far as I can figure. Not as long as we only have one AGP slot.
otoh, does anybody really need two 30" displays? :wow: |

The combination of a GeForce 6800 Ultra with a dual processor Power Mac G5 driving two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays is the definitive tool for the creative professional. :wow: :wow: :wow: :smokey: |

Also from the system requirements:
"Windows-based PCs with graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup." I guess it makes sense now that it's gone to DVI I'm not here. This isn't happening. |

Question still remains...how?
If you only have 2 DVI plugs on the card and you have 2 DVI cables per display...that doesn't add up to me. |

the display doesnt use two dvi plugs it uses one dual-link dvi plug (basically twodvi streamsin one plug) and the card has two dual-link plugs so there thats how

Without seeing pics I don't know, but it says right on the page that it supports two 30" displays. So I'm guessing the 30" display only has one DVI connector... it's just that it requires the dual DVI card in order to function.

(the DDWG site says the dual-link DVI supports 2048x1536 but the new 30" display is 2560x1600. hmm) I'm not here. This isn't happening. |

I really want one... It's just too bad there is no price drop. There really could have been a price drop. I want a price drop. Now.

Major ball-buster of an announcement if you ask me. Not even so much as $100 mark down on either the 20" or 23" displays, and their specs are barely more impressive than the last generation. In fact, isn't the previous 23" model also a 400:1 screen in terms of contrast ratio? Seems like the only thing that has improved are the response time and the overall brightness threshold.
Obviously they were too cheap to use this screen or something comparable... unless they just marked the specs down which seems unlikely knowing the RDF is in full effect. OMFG !11! More screen ports!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡ [Correction: The old contrast ratio was 350:1 not 400:1, still a minor improvement given the current state of the art is closer to 600:1 for large monitors. The cd/m2 is 70 units higher as well. Anyone else underwhelmed?] ...into the light of a dark black night. Last edited by Moogs : 2004-06-28 at 18:54. |

Have you noticed the response rate of the new displays?
now 16ms... fastest refresh available. They're now officially SWOP Certified (also industry leading). Colour accuracy is more important than pure contrast ratio for most designers. |

Actually, the prior variants are also SWOP-certified. You can get a brand new 23" ACD from Small Dog for $1799 now. Might be worth it if you're a graphics pro.
The response time is nice but that's purely a gaming thing. You are not likely to notice it in other aspects of usage IMO. Not saying these are crummy specs, just that they seem to be rather middling improvements over the previous specs... except maybe where response time is concerned I admit. ...into the light of a dark black night. |
