New Displays Tomorrow?

[MacRumors]

According to some reports... Apple may release display updates tomorrow.

No details available, but previous rumors have included a 30" display.

 

[NusuniAdmin]

a new monitor would kick!

Cost?

a 30inch display - cool!

Do you think they will take cash only, or will Apple now be accepting Kidneys and other barterable organs in order to sell their products?

Things will start costing an arm and a leg.

With a 23" at $2000, how much more pricey can you go without being absurd? Although it was more expensive before...

 

[Fuchal]

Maybe if they dropped the prices... I'd pay $2000 for 30" but not more.

 

[pgwalsh]

I'd say a 30" display will cost between $3500 and $4000. Anymore and forget it.. 4K is pricey.

 

[wymer100]

My prediction if Apple does release the displays: they'll probably sell a 30in about $2500, drop the 20in to $1000, and 22in to $1300. Apple won't sell the 30in one for more than $3k or very few people will buy them. Didn't the original 20in display cost about $2500?

Aluminum displays anyone?

Last year, new displays coincided with new Power Macs. Interesting....

I need a new monitor and I'd love to have an Apple display, but I'm afraid that food and shelter still come first in the priorites (yeah, I know, it's a close call), so a new Apple display won't be in my budget just yet.

 

[applekid]

Interesting how the old 30" rumor thread resurfaced just today and now this announcement.

 

[DHagan4755]

The question is will it be just a display or could it have a dual purpose, like switching over as a TV hookup?

 

[numediaman]

Sorry to say this, but . . . there is absolutely zero evidence that any new displays will be announced tomorrow (or anything else for that matter). Where did this thread spring up, anyway?

 

[crees!]

Even if the price seems ridiculous at first remember prices will come down. Heck, remember how much a 1x DVD-R drive cost at first? It was a crazy amount of money.. now they just cost pennies.

 

[Steven1621]

hopefully new mice and keyboards come out as well. i don't think the white really matches with the metal G5 at all.

Where do you get your prices from?

The cheapest 30" LCD product I can find (in a quick look, I admit) is $2800, and it is a brand I have never heard of. I also see an NEC model for over $4000.

Why do people expect Apple to charge $2500, then? I suspect the Apple product will sell for no less than $3500-- and clearly, people are buying 30" displays at that price point.

Also, remember that the biggest display barely needs to sell. It is in the line for the sake of the brand image, and to lure in people who will decide they can only afford the next one down. Apple would only need to sell a relatively small number of the top of the line display.

In general, arguments that randomly pick a price point and say "Nobody will pay more than XXXXX" are really just statements that the author wouldn't pay more than XXXXX.

 

[snofseth]

the 23 is actualy a good deal the sony 23 is much more by atleast $300. The only one that has a little ify price is the 17, but maybe new displays also mean something else new that would be nice

... and does a new powermac g5 come along with this display?
.a

 

[yoman]

i wonder....

if the current models will be kept as such

17,20,23 plus NEW 30

or

17Wide,20HD,23HD, NEW 30HD all with holographic projectors

 

[adamfilip]

The only issue i can see is if they offer a new 30" display will videocards in current Macs be able to support the higher resolution.

my guess 3200x1600

Well - now that being the case - I'd pay $3-$4k for the holographic projector - but ONLY if the new G5 come with a food replicator and a sonic shower so that I get every minute I can with the new set up - you know... dollar cost down the cost per minute of use!

The original Cinema Display that Apple released was at MacWorld San Francisco in January 1999. (i'm pretty sure, but it might have been 2000.) anyway, it was a 22inch model that cost $4000. i bought one cuz i was makin a lot of money at the time. fortunately it's still working...

All wide-screens?

All the high-end displays are now wide-screens. I wonder if the low-end will be changed to that as well. A wide-screen Apple display that costs the same as my 15" did when I bought it would be quite the novelty. Gamers like me could use the wide-screen display as the main display and a CRT monitor for the games.
