As a desktop display and USB extender, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display works wonderfully; however, for $1,000, there are better monitors that offer more options, including PC and Mac compatibility.

Wonderful display, best I've ever had. Clarity is superb, the design and aesthetics are both top notch, and colour quality and depth are also excellent. The ports on the back would be easier to get at if they were on the side in the bezel for instance - say in the bottom? But that's a minor...

I had a 30 inch Dell (I think it was 3007) and it was good. It supported DVI and had USB ports nothing to fancy but it was huge. The colour was good it had a mat finish. The sucker was huge. I decided to switch to apple cinema display because it would clean up my cable situation. It would...
