if you can buy this monitor again vs the Apple's 27 inch display, which one will you buy? Say, if price isn't an issue, and then, what if price is in fact considered, that the Viewsonic is $280 cheaper.

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home. I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.

Yes & that is the version I own. Some people get confused with the B1 in the name, even a YouTube reviewer that I've seen. I believe that the company intends to release different types of monitors & the B1 refers to a type, not version. They should drop the B1 nonsense or just call it B1.

I dont care for this 30" Dell. I bot two of them and their colors are not natural. I havethe Dell next to 30" Apple Cinema Displays and the Apple monitors are much better. if i were to buy a monitor now, i would try Apple's 27" since Apple stopped making the 30"

This is a used item, but mine arrived in a standard Apple box for the 24" display, though I don't think that was not important to me....I just needed a functional display ((the box was discarded).

The 70" inch seems small in comparison to the 80". I've compared them side by side at best buy and there is definitely a huge difference. I say if you really want to go all out, get the 80"! The 70" inch is 2200.00 right now. The 80" is 4000.00. They are matching certain coupons from HH Gregg and the out the door price with tax will be 3500.00. Now that's a deal!

Ok, thanks again. I got the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and as you stated it gets edge.... I relly like the machine. Can anyone suggest a similar pad with screen dimensions anywhere from 5 inches to 10.1 which has the 1700Mhz UMTS support for the SIM card?Many thanks,

I am am mainly interested in this unit as a 3D gaming monitor for a new PC (for Guild Wars 2/SW:ToR/Diablo 3 etc) the closest I can find is this ViewSonic V3D245 24-Inches LED 3D-Ready Monitor - Black So, so far the SONY is looking the better deal, I would appreciate as much comparison shopping data as possible if anyone has more specs etc, thank you.

As a life long Apple user I'd be the first to tell you if it was worth it for the Apple display, but it's not, not when this screen is $300. This screen would be amazing if it was $600, thats how beautiful it is. Don't get any ideas Asus. Seriously though, don't get the Apple Display. If you buy this screen I personally promise that by the end of month one, you'll love it just as much as the computer you use it with. if you're a gamer I would pass on this display, but for everything else this is what you need. I'm looking at it right now (it's hooked up to my PS4) and i'm smiling. Thats how happy this amazing screen makes me, but to answer your question, it's works perfect with the macbook pro.

That sounds like an apple question since their retina display is based on this decades old tech. IPS does have better image quality on still images but lacks on response time for TV viewing.

Gottlieb, that's NOT what I said. I'm talking same feature set/performance, not price. The VSX 31 is equivalent to the 1020, not the 1120. You're comparing an apple to an orange.

If I were considering each brand according to the criteria established my decision would be based on whether I was purchasing to compliment a MAC or a PC vis-à-vis'. Apple produces great hardware however my workstation is PC based and so the Viewsonic is a daily welcome sight though this may be a moot point since many peripherals work on either platform. ( Display Port, Thunderbolt, E5 series Intel, very shiny but slower than my AMD). I am very happy with the Viewsonic. I enjoy the beauty of Apple gear.

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!! Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO.

The ViewSonic has no speakers, does not claim to. The ViewSonic is a screen to attach to you Laptop and give you a larger picture, the size of an Imac at much lower price. I use mine with my Macpro, gives me a much more larger and more distinct picture. Well worth the modest price, pleased with the purchase.

I'd buy the Viewsonic again. The matte finish on the screen makes working on photos nicer and also makes ambient light/reflection much less of a concern. I think that the Apple Cinema display is a great monitor, but not for the needs of my client or myself.

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?
