Price cuts on cinema displays

If you’ve been drooling over a Cinema Display (and who hasn’t?), you may have just gotten the excuse you need to justify purchasing your new toy, er - work-related equipment. Apple is cutting prices across its line of flat panel displays.

The 20” model came down to $999, a $300 price cut, while the 23” HD display was reduced $200 to $1799. The 30” monster is now down below the 3K price point to $2999.

I just bought mine a couple of months ago and had to hold on to my table for a minute or three... I sure paid way too much for mine 20inch, assuming Apple still makes a profit. I could have gotten me a screen + an iPod!

Man, those prices are still crazy! $999 for a 20" monitor???? What is wrong with a 17" from Frys for $79? Or a 19" one for $225? I just can't pull the trigger and justify that kind of expense. Does it make you a better developer b/c you drop a grand on a monitor?

This has to be the first step in making the new "headless" iMac. Cheaper displays will sell better and make sure that business stays in the apple store instead of sending people away to another computer store to buy a monitor.
