Apple 30in Cinema Display & Matrox Parhelia DL256
[Archived in Entry]
[Krunker] *drool*.. I’m clearly jealous at the folks over at TrustedReviews.com. They get the opportunity to play with the gorgeous Apple 30 inch Cinema Display coupled with a Matrox Parhelia DL256 video card. The native resolution of the Cinema Display is actually at 2560x1600.
Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.
[The present and future of post production business and technology] Why aren’t there Workstation class graphics cards for Mac?: Of course, ATI, NVIDIA and Apple tend to point fingers at each other, although to the best of my understanding the hold-up is in the drivers and apparently Apple write the drivers for OS X. Perhaps there’s a great push to get these cards into Macs when Tiger ships - we can only hope so at least, but in the absence of hard information I vote that we in the post production industry let Apple know that we want these cards supported so we can have better performance from Avid Adrenaline on OS X, Apple’s Motion, anything CoreVideo coming up (NAB is only 12 weeks away), Boris Blue, Combustion and more.

Four, four, four screens in one - Displays - displays.engadget.com: You could use a free virtual desktop application to give yourself some more screen real estate — or, you could go all uber-Matrix and outfit yourself with this 4 in 1 graphics card from Matrox.

These multi-monitor cards already exist for the pro graphics market, but as far as we know this is the first offering targeted to the lowly consumer.
X-bit labs - News around the Web: “The Matrox Parhelia DL256 is a great solution for anyone that wants to run a high resolution screen like the 30in Apple Cinema Display, but doesn’t want to have to buy a G5 Mac to drive it. Not only does its dual link capability let you drive the Apple screen, it also gives you the option of outputting to a video monitor for previewing your video editing projects. Even if you’re not a video editor and you’ve just been wishing for a way to run Apple’s flagship screen without having to buy a Mac, the DL256 can make your dream come true,” concludes the web-site.

Kam VedBrat : Exposé and The 30" Cinema Display: The price is still way to steep for me to give up my Dell 2001FP, but it was really interesting to use. What really amazed me was how much more useful Exposé felt on the big screen - largely because you could see so much more of the window contents when you are selecting a window, also because you really got a great sense of everything that was happening on your Mac when you saw all the windows layed out on such a spacious display.
