Digital image processing will be about the toughest job this computer will have to do. At the moment I am leaning towards one of the new Sandy Bridge i7 processors with lots of RAM, 16 GB, and a good video card. High on the wish list is a first-class large monitor. For the past week or so I've been eyeballing displays at the local computer stores and by far the best display I've come across to date is the 27" Apple LED display. Every time I look at one, I go 'Wow'. Are any list members using this display with a Win computer? If so, are there any compatibility problems? In particular, I want to make sure that the built in camera will work and the USB ports will not freeze up. Newer 1155 socket motherboards are available with display port sockets so is it correct to assume that the Apple monitor will be plug 'n play with win 7? As an alternative, should the Apple option not work, can list members recommend similarly sized monitors that would be suitable for serious digital photo work as well as everyday computing - I prefer not to have a dual monitor solution. Thanks in advance, Akhil
