A pair of DVI inputs allows for both HDCP-encrypted and analog sources. Ships February for $2,200.[Via Trusted Reviews]

Still not shipping now at the beginning of April. So much for "shipping in February"

Thats about the only displays better than those apple cinemas... or maybe that XL20

The apple cinema's are possibly the most outmoded, over priced displays out on the market currently. I was really hoping for an update on Tuesday but no dice. Dell's HC, and gateway's XHD as well as Samsung's all best Apple's current displays on specs. I will not deny [i]the sexy[/i] though.

Apple Cinema displays are the same thing as Dells. It's just that Apple overcharges significantly for theirs.

You guys stick to the Dell HC's, but they are not as good.

This is pretty good news for me, I've been waiting for a highly accurate 30-incher, and this one's price is not half bad for the specs.

I'm enjoying my Gateway XHD3000 thank you very much.

looking at that stand I am reminded of Dell. yet this offers no other connections but dvi and for the same price as the 3008.
