Are they worth it? I'm not really going to game, so I wouldn't need sli 8800gtx. But I am looking around xmas to get dual 30" lcd's for just regular use.

Thnx guys
 
If you can justify them then go for it. Either those or the dell ones.
 
Well, what do you really mean by "REGULAR USE?". As far as I know regular use doesn't require that much resolution. Either way, that would be really expensive, but hey, if you got the money, go for it. Anyways, what do you want those for?
 
I would recommend dual 24" monitors if you really don't need the resoultion.

Or dual 37" Westinghouse monitors... :eek:
 
plus im not going to have a nice rig just something cheapy. like E4300, 2GB ram, ATI HD 2600XT something like that and thats enough.
 
Why get two 30" monitors if you don't have the rig to power it?

I'd wait till Apple gets LED backlighting throughout their monitor lineup because it's just a waste of money at this point buying old LCD panels from them just for the design.

It hasn't been refreshed in ages.
 
Very true. Also, "I just like them" is not a valid reason to have those monitors, I mean, at least not for me. There has to be some real reason behind it. You said you were not a gamer, and trust me, even if you were, you wouldn't be able to play on these for the insane amount of resolution. Is just way too much. Also, everything is going to get stretched here, even those nice 1080p videos. :( But I do have to admit, Dual Apple 30" would look AWESOME!!!

If I were you, I would get Dual Westy 37". That would be way better in my opinion. You can use 1 for movies alone, or use both for regular use. Also, you have the ability to play on them if you ever wanted to, and you probably will just having those 2 beasts in front on you. You know, it leaves more opportunities open. Besides the fact that text is way easier to read in the Westys. So yeah, there are several things that would make me get Dual Westy, instead of Dual Cinemas, and both look super cool.

My advice, think about what you want the monitors for. What programs you are gonna use? Do you read a lot online? Do you create websites? Do you edit video? Do you use PhotoShop? Do you just surf the web? Do you just Chat?
If you tell us what you REALLY want those monitors for, we can help you out in giving you advice on what would fulfill your needs, and also be Kick-Ass Looking Setup! ;)
 
If you've got the money, desk space and gpu power then why not? Personally I would get the Dell 3007WFP-HC..
 
If you wanna buy, I suggest buying one first, then decide if you still want a second one.
