it's amazing how much cheaper a monitor is when you go from 2560 res to 1920 res -- the price is less than half the cost. The usual run of the mill 1920x1080 display goes for $300 or so. I'm guessing the reason for the price differential is that the 1080p monitors are mass produced compared to these expensive 27" 2560res displays.

- alptrv 14y agoMost 2560 monitors are overpriced especially the Apple Cinema. I bought a 27" 2560x1440 IPS monitor from Korea just for $360 bucks back in january and it's perfect for this price, I still had to bought a Mini Display Port to DVI adapter for my Macbook, but even with adapter it much cheaper than ACD and doesn't have this huge reflective glass. But yeah, it wouldn't work if you want to chain you monitors. so if you want two monitors for your macbook - at least one of them must be ACD
