I don't know if it is a LED display, but my new 27 inch IMac display is 
pretty darned sharp and very nie to work on photos with.  I have not had any 
problems with the built in camera and any of the ports in it.

Hi Gang,

I'm putting together a new  WIn 7 computer  to replace a 7 year old Compaq.

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
