Apple Cinema Display Dissapoints (none / 0) (#11)
by headcheese on Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 03:14:38 PM PDT

As creative director, I made the decission to get 30" Cinema Displays for my hard working staff. 5 of them in total. They are a great conversation piece. One arrived with 4 dead pixels (always on and glowing bright white) - not much compared with the 2560x1600 resolution - but they are clustered dead center in front of the eyeballs! Try doing fine retouching on an image when you know those four &^^$&^$% pixels are there. Apple told us it's an acceptable number. For $13K we expect NO DEAD PIXELS! Apple even treated me like an idiot for suggesting it might be their problem. Still ... they are nice to look at from far.
I'm being dragged along the upgrade path kicking and screaming!
