I looked this up a week ago a I just saw them at the brand new apple store on the upper west side and they sure got my attention. Shiney.. I found that just like on my Macbook pro there is not a built in proper interface to calibrate the monitor. You get the apple that your supposed to squint your eyes at. If you had a calibration thing already then you'd have the software to be able to calabirtie it. But that added cost may make it a bad deal if you did not. I love how shiny they are just like my existing laptop but I know if I get one my friends are going to be telling me I should have get a NEC. And it would have a built in way to calibrate it like they all do except for the Apple. I'd get the NEC for twice the reputation at half the cost. Maybe you'd end up with one a few inches smaller. Like a 24. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Bill Nelsch <photobynelsch at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:32:27 -0700 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Apple 27" LED Display Questions > > Why don't you just get the 27" iMac? > > Bill Nelsch > Sent from my iPad > > On Jan 20, 2011, at 8:04 PM, "A.Lal" <alal at poly.edu> wrote: > >> P.S:- >> >> Does an Apple display have to be recalibtated for use with a PC?
