Hi Geoff

I am a photographer and have in my studio a 23" apple as well as a 24" Dell
which is only around �600 , The apple is slightly better but the Dell is
definitly 90% of what the apple is,

I also have a HD plasma in my studio and the PC picture is not anywhere near
the quality of the dell or Apple.

if your looking for cheaper than the Apple I would gofor the Dell
Ultrasharpe 24" its just brilliany
