I just ordered the 20" ACD and I can't wait to get it. I have been wanting one for a while. It will go along good with my PB. I was debating between the 20" and 23" and I couldnt justify the price difference for what I am going to be using it for. If I were doing some HD video editing then I might of gotten it but I am not. I just wanted to let everyone know that I ordered it and I hope to have it by Monday. I got overnight shipping but I dont know if I got it in too late for it to come tomorrow.

Is there anything that I should do when I get it other than just hooking it up. Will I have to calibrate it or anything. What is some good software so that I can check to see if any pixels are stuck?

Dell has a 24 inch display for $879 right now. I have one and love it and am thinking about a second for my office. I'm going to wait to see if the price comes down a little
more next week as this month is the end of their quarter.

I never got why phiscal years were like that (granted, Apple's ends in October, of all times).

Anyways, I've been looking into getting one, but the fact that Dell has one that uses the exact same display panel for half the price keeps popping up in the back of my mind.

I just got my ACD and hooked it up. WOW! I love this thing. I ran Pixel Check and didnt find any dead or stuck pixels (knock on wood). I really like how wide it is. I am glad I only went with the 20" beause it is big enough for me. I cant imagine using the 30". It looks great along side my PB.
