Apple better be bringing out new displays at MacWorld. While they are still the best for viewing the true images, the difference isn't nearly as good as it used to be, especially for the current price.
Plus, this display by Dell is really nice looking.
Do they have 30" OLED displays on the market yet? How good are they compared to other display types?
I've seen a OLED TV at the local sonystyle store and it was amazing. Image was sharp and contrast ratio was crazy, which easily topped the high end Bravia TVs at the store. The screen was razor thin as well. Only problem with it was that the screen size was tiny (I think it was 10 inch), and was ridiculously expensive (close to $2k). It will become cheaper in few years, but right now 30" OLED should cost well over $10k.
They can't mass-produce 30" OLEDs reliably just yet. Same hangup as LCDs originally had: the larger you get, the more defects you have. Over time they improve the process, but that's what's holding back OLED at the moment.

$1,200?! Is it made out of gold?
They probably found out Apple is going to roll out crazy 1mm thick OLED Cinemas at Macworld and wanted to steal their thunder.
