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. The cuts come as a result of both overstock and declining flat panel
component pricing throughout the industry. New pricing is already in effect at the Apple Store, so go get your drool
on…

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.

If you have access to the education discount, the prices are even better...
20" - $899
23" - $1599
30" - $2699

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?

@ Erik: if you sit 12 hours a day in front of a monitor like me, I want to look at something which pleases my eye. Besides, I can't complain about the quality, it's razor sharp, even compared to the screen of my Powerbook. 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!
