Satellites are working perfectly and use standard 1/8 mini jack connectors. I might have Elliot repair the sub. We'll see.

I've been sporting a Klipsch Promedia v2 400 set since '99. Unfortunately, the sub/amp got fried in an electrical storm (surge protector did not save them, alas). I tested the 4 satellites and they're still working perfectly. They use standard 1/8" mini-jack connectors. What I'm looking for...

My 2209WA I'm going to use at work came in today. Very nice, no dead pixels or discoloration. Only issue is backlight bleed in the lower left corner. Only noticeable on a black screen. It's not nearly as nice as my Apple LED, but looks great for the size.

I measured mine. It's 3.5 ft. I had to rearrange a little, but I was able to get my MBP close enough under the desk to reach the monitor.

Just a word of warning: the LP2275w has noticeable input lag.

Beware the Viewsonic LED. I tried one and the viewing angles were horrendously bad, even for a TN panel. We're talking a reddish glow anywhere your eyes aren't directly focused.

Apple released the specifications for the Mini Displayport as a free license, so we might yet see adapters from 3rd parties. I imagine Apple's new lineup at Macworld will feature new Cinema Displays and Mac Pros with only Mini Displayport connectors, but with an assortment of adapters...

Could you measure the exact length of the video connector cable? I was able to only get a rough estimate, as the display in the Apple Store had its cables taped to the shelf. 48 inches / 122 cm was my estimate.

Measured the cable. It's about 48 inches.

These have gone up for pre-order on Amazon. Free shipping, no tax, excellent return policy. Now I just need to measure and see if I can make an arrangement to compensate for the short (3-4 ft.) cable on this thing. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB382LL-24-Inch-Cinema-Display/dp/B0013FMLXK/

Viewsonic has a few gaming-specific monitors (the X series) if you don't mind them being TN panels. Personally, I cannot stand TN panels for graphic design, but gaming on them has been great for me.

Unibody (late 2008) Macbook Pro, yes. Unfortunately the connector cable is way too short for me. I'm going to need some kind of extension cord if I get this when it comes out. I don't know of any adapters (yet). If you can stomach the $900 price tag and figure out a way to connect it, this...

Apple Store let me hook up my Macbook Pro and test it out. I can't say enough how gorgeous the image quality is on this display. Also, I tested for output lag by playing some Quake 3. I could detect none whatsoever (and I'm very picky and sensitive to such things) - so this display passes...
