The Mac Mini doesnt sounds too fast if your gonna get a dell monitor you might aswell build a P.C. imo, the cinematics are very due for an update so I wouldnt buy one now, I have mac pro desktop but if i could do it again i would have bought a mac pro laptop and a mac screen best way imo, but yeah those mac minis dont sound very fast.

The new minis are dual core 2.2 or something...upgrading the ram and they're almost the iMac spec.

Does anyone know if that dell monitor is actually 8 bit?

iMac was my first choice but i was worried that the glossy screen will oversaturate the photos and hence my prints will look undersaturated. Dunno has anyone else played with it? Guess i have to ask Dan the Mac man...

edit:

I'm sick of PCs..I have a built PC (dual core 2.86, 4gb of ram 1tb of hdd 9800gt graphics) but i'm sick of the ammount of crap that circulates the web. I spent the whole weekend fixing the PC from trojans that somehow found it's way to my PC (and i normally stay away from dodgy websites). Macs are better in a way that there isnt too many viruses 'made' for them. So thinking of selling the PC (EOI anyone?)

I have a dell ultrasharp running off my macbook pro and although its not as nice as a mac cinema display I would say the quality of the panel is 95% of a cinema display. The picture quality of the high end dells is excellent. I have had samsungs, view sonics, HPs, apple cinema displays and now this dell and I'm stoked with it.

I'm sure they are 8 bit Pete, must be in the specs somewhere?

I have an old mac mini that was one of the fist of the intel ones and it runs photoshop fine even with good size raws. Should do what you want?

Just check your viewing angle.

i have the 27inch Dell HD.

Jamie only diff between the della nd apple cinema is probably the glossy glass on front of the lcd which gives it that gloss look.

if your viewing angle is 178/178 its 8bit

Dell were the first to release a monitor in the mainstream that could be calibrated to within (and under) 1 standard deviation of correct colours with their 24 and 30 incher (3007 then 3008).

I don't know if apple have caught up with a new model but their twice as expensive cinema displays out at that time were not capable of such accuracy or range of colours.





lower is better
