is
im assuming thats with the pbook closed
ok before i plunk $$ down
did you guys have any dead pixels ? at all ?
i simply cant afford dead pixels & with apples retarded 15%
restock policy i cant afford to make a mistake & wind
up with a dsiplay with dead pixels
so a heads up on that would be great
thanks again guys
No, it supports the native resolution of the Cinema Display - 1920x1200, but I'm not sure that the 15"/800 can drive it. I know that my 12" Rev. A PB won't drive my Cinema Display.
The newer 12" and 15" PB's work fine with it though.
No dead pixels here either and I think Apple's policy is to replace the display if you have 6 or more stuck/dead pixels - not just one or two.

Picked up a 23" at the Apple Store and lucked out with no dead or stuck pixels. The manager wouldn't let me check before I bought, though -- like I said, got lucky.
There may be an advantage of buying your display from CompUSA in regards to not worrying about the number of dead pixels. I've been told that they will accept an exchange for any reason - with one being a dead pixel. I've had two stores tell me the same information. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Oh, it was you! Aspen Grove had just sold out, so I had to drive up to Cherry Creek.

Anyone have a good place to find 1920x1200 wallpaper?

Nope. The Grove in Los Angeles.
I'm looking for widescreen desktops too, fugimax.
Plus, I'm waiting for the 2.5Ghz G5's to show up in the store.
Don't hate me for using my PC until then:
You just buying the stock model? Or BTO?

It'll run at native resolution; 1920x1200. Your Ti 800 has DVI out, right? If I remember right, the first TiBook 667 was the last to have VGA out.
er the 15" ti 800 is a 32 mb radeon
didnt know it could do 1900x or whatever the 23" native res
is
im assuming thats with the pbook closed

I've pretty much decided on bumping up the video card from the stock 9600XT.
I'd like at least the 9800XT if not the 6800 Ultra.
Unreal Tournament 2004 plays great with my PC and 9800 Pro.

I'm pretty sure it has to be DVI (not thru an adapter).
