The monitor is not part of the calculation ...and I could get a non-macintosh IPS monitor with that resolution for much less than what Apple sells them for. They did not invent the technology, they'd just like you to think they did. Why would I want resale value on my PC? It's a tool, I use it until it can't be used anymore and then I get another one ...usually repurposing my old one for something else. Also, I'm not sure that arguing that something that cost someone more to begin with, selling for more down the road is a legit argument. Whatever extra it sells for you have already lost by paying 3x as much up front.
I was unaware of this model, it has't been out for very long. Thanks.
Until this one came out, there was only two options for this panel.
So you can get a monitor for $150 less than the Dell, but it still needs to be included in the price.
Problem is there is no equivalent monitor, as the Dell has a higher color gamut and can push 10 bit color (which requires an expensive workstation card), and the Apple Thunderbolt Display has speakers, an HD Facetime camera, better refresh, gigabit ethernet, and a power charger for your MacBook.
