They're not
saying much about it, but apparently Dell's forthcoming 30-inch
3007WFP display is a)
real, and b) actually going to be announced during CES according to their site (hence their "check back on Jan 5,
2006" message), and c) has better specs as Apple's 30-inch Cinema display (those being same 2560 x 1600
resolution, but 700:1 contrast ratio over 400:1, 11ms over 16ms, and 400cd/m2 brightness over 270). Frankly we're a
little bummed they're gonna miss the holiday rush with this one, but somehow we have a feeling a 30-inch display, Dell
or not, is still one of those things we'd have to pony up for ourselves.
[Thanks, Matt and Chet]
Update: for all those interested, the
3007WFP user manual has indeed surfaced. And it does
quite in fact show the unit as having a SD / MMC / Memory Stick / SmartMedia / CompactFlash card reader and HDCP
support. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
