I found the price strangely low.
As usual with any Apple release, I started some friendly banter with my Apple-loving friends about how poor the value is compared to a regular PC, until I got to the 27" Imac and realised you couldn't buy a screen that good, elsewhere - at any price.

- randallsquared 17y agoNo, both of those appear to be 2560 at 30", which is a lower DPI than the one under discussion. Since that's the only way that the 27" screens are better than the pre-existing 30" screens, it must be the metric that was meant.
- mrkurt 17y agoThat's 30" diagonal at a different aspect ratio (16:10), so the DPIs aren't as far off as they sound. The bigger problem is that neither of the linked 30" panels are LED backlit.
- randallsquared 17y agoAh, quite right. I'd forgotten about those details.
- elblanco 17y agoLED backlighting is nice. But since these are LG panels, I'm sure we'll see them in refrigerators and washing machines by year's end.
- potatolicious 17y agoAlso, the HP doesn't indicate panel type - which would suggest it's a TN panel.
