I would still get the Apple one because it's colour quality. I am a designer too.

how do you define color quality? they use panels made by LG.philips

there are many more lcd panels that are far superior in term of color reproduction than this 20" ACD


edit: OLD article for an OLD lcd panel

Yes, but with all the settings I have done on usual monitors it just do not work for me. I have a DVI Dell monitor using with PC, look closely and you will see some "noise" on the display, usually it is all on usual monitors.

Well well TS, you do Photoshop (CS3 as you mention). Try to compare printings with the preferences I have stated on my previous and you will find your answer. For video editing, try to compare it with a PC and you will get your answers too. Just one thing I can tell in big difference, colour accuracy upon production.

what i was saying is that the ACD uses the lg.philips panel which is also used in some other lcd brands

there are very few good panel manufacturer and apple is not one of them

try to differentiate between LCD PANEL MANUFACTURER and BRAND - they are two different thing

the same dell 2407 may have 3-4 different type of lcd panel types, depending on ur luck

it's the same with Apple

which gives to the conclusion that by being branded apple , it suddenly got all superior (only in ur mind la...)

anyway, there's a host of professional clabiration device that you can use to get very precise color reproduction on any lcd panels.

gone is the era where Apple and Mac is the de-facto standard in the printing / design / movie business. it was in the 90's, but it's not now.
