Hi everyone,I have been looking at buying a new display and I ended up getting a Sony Bravia 32" display with the resolution set at 1024x768x32. It looks pretty good except that due to the widescreen feature any settings above that (1360x768 for example) stretches the picture out too much and makes the 2D panel look awful. Not to mention that the quality of the display leaves me to question whether I should go back to my other display with the classic viewing ratio.Now I am considering the Mac 30" display and I was wondering if anyone has it in use and if so what resolution settings are you using? The specs for that display are as follows: * 2560 x 1600 pixels (optimum resolution) * 2048 x 1280 * 1920 x 1200 * 1280 x 800 * 1024 x 640I would be greatful if anyone had any suggestions they may want to share.Cheers,

I have used it for Photoshop and it is a remarkable monitor. However you need a Dual-Link DVI capable card to run it, and have no experience with it on anything except a Mac G5.

I was considering the Dell 30" which is similar. 2560 x 1600 is amazing. However, each frame is a whopping 4 million pixels. This will require tremendous CPU and graphics horsepower (such as Core 2 Duo X6800 and 2 X Nvidia 7950 in QuadSLI). Even with high-end hardware, FS may not be able to run at a decent frame rate.You may want consider a 24" such as Dell or Samsung 244T. These run at 1920 X 1200 (optimal resolution). Lots of picture real estate, but only 2.3 million pixels to render per frame (nearly half that of the 30"). These do not require the Dual-link DVI graphics card.Regards,Rich

OK so then the Dual Core DVI capable card would be the show stopper for me. I have a GeForce 6800 GT which I do not think would support the Apple Cinema 30". My "old" display is a Viewsonic 20" display so moving to a 24" would not make much of a difference would it.Thanks guys,
