Apple Cinema 30" user reviews 

I've had mine for a few weeks now, and it's a great monitor. It's just amazing to be able to open up 100+ thumbnails on the screen at once, and still be able to see what each one is. Games look fantastic on it , though not all support the native resolution. The dual firewire and USB ports on the monitor are very handy, too.

There are a few quirks, due to the sheer size of the thing:
It *just barely* fits under the overhead storage hutch on my computer desk. Measure carefully before you buy any furniture that you intend to put one of these displays on.

Neck strain is a definite possibility if your chair and/or desk don't adjust far enough. The top of this monitor is a lot higher than the typical 20 inch or so monitor, and the stand is pretty tall, too.

It's possible to "lose" things off towards the sides of the screen. While the (relatively low) pixel pitch means that a dialog box is the same size as it would be on a smaller Apple monitor, it can be far enough to the left or right to be out of your central vision. Sitting back a little farther from the monitor helps.

The CTH bus (computer to human bus) in your computer system is the display/keyboard/mouse. For most people this has a bottleneck: the common 21" monitor (or smaller). You need to click the mouse a lot just to find information by opening panels, moving windows to uncover information, switching applications frequently. You're so used to this bus going slow from years of work on 21" displays going back to your first big CRT years ago you don't even notice it any more - you think it's normal.

What if this bandwidth could be instantly more than doubled and a large chunk of all that mouse clicking and shuffling of panels, windows, and applications go away? What kind of difference would that make?

None if you just use a couple of applications - well within the CTH bus bandwidth a 21" display provides. But if you're running 10 or more applications all day long doing design/video/audio/Flash/3D/CAD/software-development plus the necessary e-mail/web/iTunes/Acrobat/terminal/etc the CTH bus bandwidth is completely saturated (whether you know it or not). Time for a bus upgrade. Enter the 30" display.
