Hello guys, I was looking at the 30" Cinema when originally speccing out my Mac Pro, with the time to order coming up very soon, I have noticed they have taken it off the apple store. The refurbs are out of stock, and I don't really feel comfortable spending that much money on ebay. Does any one know if any third party resellers still have any new ones in stock?

If I cannot buy one I will probably get the Dell U3011 30", it's got more inputs than I'd know what to do with, has good colors, and a pixel warranty, not to mention height adjustment.


Thanks, Jess

You could check Apple's refurbished section. Often the displays are new anyway, and the only difference is that it comes in a generic brown box. All the refurbished items are treated as new and are eligible for AppleCare.

Also, take note Apple changed their dead pixel policy. After the first 7 days (which you can return the display for any reason), you can still return the display if it's unsatisfactory for a replacement. Apple will replace it once regardless if it meets their original dead pixel policy.

They're still out there.

Also check local Apple stores, they may have one in stock that you can take home.

Purely optional, though you don't want to miss out on that one year warranty. It could save you a bundle if something were to go wrong.
