Matt Burns<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The 16:9 displays use IPS panels that feature a 178 degree viewing angle. There\u2019s a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, and integrated MagSafe charger for easy Mac notebook charging. The display works as a sort of \u00a0Thunderbolt hub with three USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port and an additional Thunderbolt port for daisy chaining five\u00a0additional\u00a0Thunderbolt device. How awesome is that!<\/p>\n

These new features turn the display into more than just a monitor. The Apple Thunderbolt Display is a docking station of sorts thanks to the high-speed, 10Gbps Thunderbolt port that feeds all the interconnects on the new monitor. Just plug in a Thunderbolt MacBook Pro, MacBook Air or Mac Mini and the display becomes a full extension of the computer, adding functionality and ports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wait. The 178 degree viewing angle IPS display from Apple that perfectly matches my iMac and has a FaceTime HD camera and a 2.1 integrated speaker system and an integrated MagSafe Charger ($79 value) to charge my MacBook Air and Three USB ports, one FW800 port and a gigabit Ethernet and an additional ThunderBolt Port is only $999?<\/p>\n

Dell’s top of the line 27″ monitor is $899 (link<\/a>) and doesn’t do half of what Apple’s display does. For the first time ever, I see Apple’s displays actually being better than Dell’s. This is a 1st and OMG!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Burns: The 16:9 displays use IPS panels that feature a 178 degree viewing angle.
