This post brought to you from a 30 inch Cinema Display
I was tempted to call this one "brought to you from a wide-screen television"...but I suppose this is technically still a computer monitor after all. At 2560x1600 pixels, though, it's like getting lost in a really large forest. Stretch a Safari browser window to full-screen, and the actual content of the page takes up no more than one-third of it, with the rest just being empty space. Kind of pointless, until you realize that you could easily have three appliations at the front of your screeen, full-size, with all palettes visible, all at once.
One little problem: at $3499, it costs as much as three iBooks -- and that's just the screen. Forget about being able to afford a computer to go with it...
