What do people think? There's quite a bit of whinging on the web so far.

I saw the 20" and the 24" models in an Apple Store on Sunday, the 20" model did look washed out. Apparently this can be corrected by colour profiles but the screen has other problems.

The 24" display looked very nice and is apparently a higher quality panel, I was surprised it was on full brightness though because it wasn't overly bright, most monitors can be turned up so they're way too bright.

Upshot is I think I will have to save pennies for the 24" model! Either that or just get a Cinema display for my Mini and avoid the possible problems of the new glossy screens.
 
The Cinema displays are indeed expensive but in my mind they have this aura of quality design and spot on image quality with perfect colours etc.

In reality I bet a lot of TFT's are of comparable quality, but the dual Dell 17" TFT's on my desk at work are not, the picture is rubbish. Some gradient images on the website I'm working on are invisible :eek:
