amazing...but get the extended warranty
my 23" cinema display worked beautifully right up until 3 weeks after the 1 year warranty was up and then it just went black. I was forced to have Apple send it to there repair people for a flat fee of $450. I do find it rediculous that a high end product like this lasted just 13 months till it died. I guess I got the short end of the stick on this one. I really should have gotten the extended warranty which would have covered it for 3 years. But I figured I have had TV's last forever.

Was a great monitor, but now outdated and soon to be replaced.
This monitor lacks a lot of features, and it makes sense because it was released in mid 2004. Apple has also officially DISCONTINUED it if you look on their web site. I'd encourage people to wait until Macworld '09 in SF this January, where they will likely introtuce new models with more competitive features (wide gamut, better viewing angles, contrast ratio, etc). If you need a monitor right now I'd look into NEC's high end 24" and 26" monitors.
Overpriced
Apple monitors are seriously overpriced. It is a decent monitor, just much too expensive. For your money there are better alternatives. If you want a good photo editing 24in LCD look at the NEC 2490WUXi. It is about 200 more but the screen is much better. It has an A-TW polarizer which increases the viewing angle and comes with an internal LUT for better calibration. Colorcomp help insure even colors across the the screen.

Great Monitor
I have one at work (I'm a graphic and web designer for an Ad agency) and now one at home and love them both. Both were purchased here at Amazon in August '08. The one at work was purchased to replace a 2004 model 23" Cinema HD (same model, just older) one that was stolen. That one had an obvious pink cast to it that was hard to correct even with calibration, but both of the new ones are beautiful and quite color "neutral." The 1920x1200 feels like a lot of room to work but not "too much" ...if that's even... more info
