  1. Torpedo!
  2. ^^ Precisely.
  3. I'm resisting posting too many of these.
  4. The regular DVI-only 27" Apple LED CinemaDispaly and its Thunderbolt counterpart are the same price. Both have a MagSafe connector for Macintops. My biggest complaint with Apple monitors (besides the wonky colors and narrow gamut due to the white LED backlighting) is that they only have one input. That is unacceptable on a $1000 monitor. Eizo makes a variety of 27" monitors, all are CCFL-backlit. They range in cost from $1700 to over $3300. If that's too pedestrian for you, they have a 30" that's over $5000. They are also capable of displaying gamma 1 point fricken 0. I am seriously in the market for an Eizo, and already have the kidney on eBay to pay for it. I'm not buying anything until the new MacPros are out and I know exactly what type of connectors their video cards will have. In the interim, I'm going to buy this LG IPS display to tide me over. It's got a native resolution that my humble early 2008 MacBook can drive and about as good color accuracy as one can expect for under $500. Blissfully, it has 1 DVI, 2 HDMI and one VGA input.
  5. Mac Monitors pwn everything this side of Eizo.
  6. Dude.
  7. aerius is trolling. The compact prime is product meant for the motion picture industry, that they adapted to fit Canon (and Nikon) DSLRs. It sits somewhere between the novelty/collector's toy of a Noctilux (as ) and an esoteric professional tool. It's rated in transmission stops and marked in feet for a focus puller. It's main claim to fame is that it has full frame coverage, so it can be used to shoot video with a 5DII. TBH, that is its intended market: professional production companies who are shooting a scene (or a feature) with the 5DII.
  8. This is both awesome and hilarious.
  9. I wonder how many American tourists respect the residents' wishes?
