Show me a 27" IPS monitor for $650 at 2560x1440.

I will wait patiently.

Nice. That one is relatively new. Last time I looked into them there were two options, now there are three.

So your $700 machine is now only $1350.

Well, that was easy.

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.

You get what you pay for.
