Apple Reduces Prices on Their Overpriced Monitors

By C.K. Sample, III

Apple's Cinema Displays dropped in price (again) today, which is good news.  The bad news?  The least expensive one still runs a solid $799.  Ouch.  Sure, they are beautiful displays (I want one badly), but you can get the same exact LCD wrapped in a plastic Dell casing for only $350.  Is that aluminum really worth over $400?  Also, just as a non-monitor comparison, you can buy a nice 23" flat panel television for just a little bit more.

I mean, thanks for lowering the prices a bit Apple, but could you do so just a wee bit more so we mere mortals can get one?
