Apple 30-inch Cinema Display: $1,800. Apple iMac, with 27-inch display: $1,700. If you’re having trouble with those numbers, it means that if you can give up just three diagonal inches (and remember, it’s not the size but what you do with it that counts) then you can save $100, and Apple will effectively throw in a free computer.
It’s true that the Cinema Display is slightly more cinematic, with a vertical pixel count of 1,600 versus the iMac’s 1,440, but both have the same horizontal resolution of 2,560 pixels, which means you don’t get to fit much more on the bigger monitor.
Add to this the iMac’s killer feature: The screen can be used as a display for another computer using an optional DisplayPort adapter (DisplayPort is a two-way interface). This means that, a few years down the line when you have convinced yourself your computer is too slow, you’ll still have a great TV.
And make no mistake. From the splash page featuring the Star Trek graphic above to the VESA-compatible mount to the heavy emphasis on contrast ratios and viewing angle show you that Apple wants you to toss your telly and put this in the living room instead. The new iMac, it seems, is also the new Apple TV.
