You can get a Dell monitor for about 40% less. Albeit no where as close in terms of looks. If you are going for style and decor, apple wins everytime.

If you are an apple geek, it doesn't matter how substandard they are. For instance, look at the iPod. You can get much better mp3/video player type devices out there. Ones that not only do all the iPods ever do, but more such as radio, etc. So why do people still buy iPods? The name. And their sexy...
