The specs for other displays are lots better, but I know
the apple is highly regarded.
Thanks,

I have the 23" and it's plenty fast. I cut video on it all the time. I mean, you're only talking 29.97 fps. Pretty much any flat panel can handle that. I play games on mine at up to 80 fps with no real problems.

Good luck.

Even the crappiest LCD built nowadays is fine for video. We're not in the days of passive-matrix LCDs anymore. Refresh rates really only come into play when you are talking about games, but even then I haven't found any problems playing games on screens that hardcore gamers dismiss.

So there isnt much ghosting?
I plan to use this from an ati 9700pro on a pc(sorry)
and I see the formac has better specs. But I have heard a mix of
things about formac, some good, some bad.
Thanks

They are both good monitors, and would work fine for video editing.
