Theres been rumors that Apple is releasing new displays with built in iSights at MWSF. I've also heard that iSights are selling for up to $200 on ebay because they've been discontinued. If I sold my 23" ACD in LIKE NEW condition and the iSight, together on ebay, i'd definetaly make enough to buy the next monitor equivilent to the "23 ACD, and it'll have built in isight, and probably a remote.

What do you think?

sorry for the late reply, i just think if it isn't broke dont fix it. Unless of course the the upgrade helps you with your work in some way. But then again, it would be nice to have a shiny new apple display again. lol

My display is as new and shiny as when I first took it out of the box. My only concern would be that the new one would have features that I'd want.

well just wait a month and see what comes out. the demand for what you have isn't going away anytime soon if you plan on selling them separately.

Thats always a gamble you have to play. If you don't NEED the Display and the iSight right now, get rid of it and buy something new the time it comes out. If your work absolutely demands it then you probably shouldn't.

Or you could just sell the iSight which seems like the more hot selling item and then take a decision on the display when new ones come out. Its not like eBay is suddenly going to sell $1000 Displays for $200 when new ones are out. You'll still get a decent price for it.
