I heard the Apple LCD screens are dropping $ soon?

[Craig Seeman]

Of course one may wonder what will happen with the entire G5 price structure pending what Apple’s move to Intel is really about. We’ll know very soon though.

[Derek Woods]

G5 Price structure? Could the announcement effect the line that fast? I just recieved a g5 2 weeks ago, but i did keep the box!

Here it is, as it happens:

But no, I hadn’t heard anything about monitors before now.

The Intel stuff is true apparently. Very interesting news.

Not that much, it seems. I obviously don’t know everything yet, but I think it’s fair to think of this Intel chip as the “G6” no matter what they actually end up calling it.

It looks like they’ve been planning for a long time to make this pretty pain-free.

Whether or not it will be easier to run Windows programs on a Mac now…I don’t know…but that’s not really an issue for us. We care if Final Cut will keep working without having to re-buy everything and for now it looks like the answer is “yes.”

Not a whole lot. If you read what Steve is saying, all versions of OS X have been built “Intel Ready” so they’ve been preparing for this transition all along. So I’m guessing it will bring us faster machines sooner, rather than later. it should also drop the price of our machines since there are a zillion Intel Processors made each year compared to the limited number of Apple processors made each year.

Hi,

Get a Dell Ultrasharp. If you watch for deals you can get very very good prices on these monitors. Heres one example (expired) from Dealmac:
new: Dell UltraSharp 20.1″ widescreen LCD display w/DVI for $397 shipped + padding
Once again, the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1″ Widescreen LCD Monitor costs $749 at Dell Home. Add any item to bump your order over $750 (e.g., this CD-R media) and apply coupon codes “S0BDZ6HBTFDPSL” and “79VT3767HP833W” to drop the net price to $396.85, not including the cost of the extra item. With free shipping, that ties last week’s listing for the lowest total price we’ve seen. The 2005FPW sports a native resolution of 1680×1050, 600:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, an integrated 4-port USB 2.0 hub, and S-Video, composite video, DVI, and VGA inputs. Offer ends May 23 at 7 am ET, but these coupons will likely hit their limits sooner.

Best Wishes,

Mitch

Hi,

“I heard about the 24″ Dell 24″ Widescreen LCD Display (2405FPW) from a programmer friend of mine. Apparently many internet forums are buzzing over this display — and for good reason.”

Best Wishes,

Mitch
