I know you're being funny, but is the 'Jesus Christ' really necessary? :P

@Mike Stephens: Dear Fancy Buddha-spanking Yahweh, do not let the censors take the "Jesus Christ" interjection away from the interwebz like it did to TV!

Amen

Wait. Can't you get the same monitor guts (from LG) inside a different case from DELL?

@misterrios:

Yes, just like you could get a VW Touareg or Porsche Cayenne. Same car, but which one would you rather pick up that hot date in?

@picaso57: The Touareg for sure. The Cayenne is the ugliest goddamn Porsche ever made, and it makes me sad.

Cayenne is more useful for you to take your kids to soccer practice....in like Aspen.

@TheCrudMan: It was a brilliant marketing move though. They sell more Cayennes than any other model.

I'm still trying to figure out what the big deal is about Cinema Displays. Other than that they're priced to match Macs.

@alexmg2420: Cinemas still technically have the best color and quality in their range of monitors. Keep in mind Cinemas were basically focused towards designers and production. Thats the reason majority of VFX and video related firms use those specific displays. The Mill NYC recently spent over $65,000 to purchase the 24" Cinemas for its range of VFX workers.

@imTheKing: Hmm... the LCDs are definitely not made by Apple. Given that there are fewer LCD makers (Samsung, LG, Philips, Sharp, Sony) than monitor brands (Apple, Dell, IBM, Acer, etc.), it's hard to believe that the manufacturer is not supplying other brands with the same screens.

God help me if stuff as seemingly elementary as this ever becomes an issue in my computing life.

@strider_mt2k: Does commenting on it count as it becoming an 'issue'? If so, we are both in trouble, man.
