And isn't as critical as it would be on a large HDTV.....that said, I'm referring to backplate rather than edge lit crap.

HellsAngel will get us a special price $800 per screen.

Why oh why did I open this thread.

Do you realise I'm going to have to have one of these. That means EPIC new GPU aswell :|

will be interesting to see ive always preferred the LED back lights, the colors always seem more pure.

rockofclay · 17th January 2010, 1:02 PM

I'm actually glad this thing is not LED backlit.

The imacs had reports of uneven colour across the screen. Apparently it was a yellow tinge on the bottom of the screen. As white LED's go yellow when they age or get hot I imagine this problem could only get worse.

CCFLS can produce better uniformity, and the new generation can produce a better white point than white LED (not RGB LED).

The only advantage the IMAC screen would have is power usage.

Maybe magically, if we all say this - it will become true!

so with the monitor now announced at CES, how long is it normally from announcement until Australian market release for Dell?

Bismar · 20th January 2010, 8:50 PM

Actually, i don't think it was announced at CES. It's seems thats multiple websites speculated it would be, and with the internet being the internet it was miscommunicated and blew out of proportion.

Awesome news, I guess I've lined up my next monitor hopefully I'm not downgrading picture wise from my monitor now when I eventually buy this, but reading the specs I shouldn't be.

Deadshot_80 · 20th January 2010, 9:43 PM

I've spoken to a dell rep and she believed that it should be available early Feb.

Fischbitz · 20th January 2010, 10:45 PM

Hmm, they will have to be pretty good if I am going to swap my Dell 3008 WFP for one

Cheers

was a nice review, unfortunately going on the price listed in that review its not going to be a nice price range as we thought which makes it a deal breaker for me and most other people i know. Id rather have the IMAC for a bit more and get the whole editing package, i find it much nicer on the eyes and still excellent color reproduction.

detailed review, guess everyone is just waiting for the Aus price...
