Not a mac guy at all but the 27" display is fantastic. Apple definitely sources a good IPS panel. I bought a Korean noname 27" 2560x1440 monitor with the same LG IPS panel and couldn't be more pleased. Even out of the box the color accuracy and gamma setting is excellent.

I'm old enough to remember when tv sets didn't have a screen that big.

Our only TV is a 13" color TV with rabbit ears.

I actually worked on a 27" iMac 11.3 over the weekend.

The hard drive failed after 600 days of life or so. It failed the short DST.

I was able to boot up a Linux Live cd and copy off the owner's files to a network location.

It was not a horrible machine to work on, mostly because I had the tools available but you had to use a suction cup to remove the plexiglass, then remove the LCD panel to gain access to the hard drive and other goodies.

This particular machine came from a smoker's household/workplace. Nasty inside. Yellow gunk all over the aluminum and the fans were clogged up with nasty gooey dust.

I have a 27" that hasn't been turned-off in a year or so. Never crashed a program. Flawless. Dittoes, Rush!

My 15" MBP has survived a few trips around the world... Does that count for anything?
