Monitors other than dell

[Pili]

Was just wondering if there are any other monitors besides the dell that of are higher quality (along the lines of the ACD or greater) but offer similar input connections like component video, svideo, etc.

Thanks.

A little reading-challenged, are we?

This lack of flexibility is the biggest thing that sort of makes the ACD a rip-off, in my opinion. If for some reason you don't want to go Dell, I'd say Samsung or possibly Viewsonic are your top choices for quality, although I haven't found many monitors to have the plethora of connections like the Dells do. We also know for a fact that the Dell 20" and 30" use the same panels as the Apple 20" and 30".

Depending on the size you want, you could buy a Samsung HDTV like the LN-S1951W which is a 19" widescreen 1440x900 display with a good number of inputs...

There isn't a lot of monitor out there that beat ACD in colors accuracy and sharpness, but Eizo Monitor is top of the line. Their colors accuracy is greater then Apple and have a zero dead pixel policy. They are expensive but their monitor are superior then many others. Other then that, I think Samsung follow very closely maybe even better then Apple in some parts. Apple input I think are rather somewhat useless. I find the firewire to be useful, but all this is on your Mac Pro already.

I wonder if iTV might change this, and the ACD might get additional inputs...
