Perhaps. Sometimes. To some of us, the power and desk space

end-macs hardware bought off LEM Swap and eBay for dirt cheap.
Then paid out the wazoo for shipping....
The 30" $2500 Apple Cinema display can actually keep up with dvd
video, with no visible artifacts. Ditto for the games I've seen
demo'd. It's the first LCD I've seen that's able to do that.
Higher refresh rate LCD's are being introduced specifically for
gamers, an outgrowth of the explosive pace of LCD development.
Today's LCD's are not yesterdays...
It's color reproduction, tho, seems only a bit better than the 4yro
21" ViewSonic monitor I just gave to a client for $50.
Quick History question: Just HOW much did that 21" CRT go for when it
was new, and how much did they go for years ago when LCD's weren't
competing? No fair comparing new apples to used sneakers...
I still remember my wife's boss and his $4000 Mac II and $2500 16" CRT.
LCD's are not at the top of their cost scale any more, certainly, and
I expect them to come screaming down pretty fast...making 37" LCD
panels for TV's certainly helps you make 20" ones for PCs a lot cheaper.
