Any word on the new 27" LCD HD monitor? I suppose it is in the same dark room as the new 12-core Mac Pro. I though the release was imminent. Why, Apple, why do you torture us!?

And since they weren't announced at this week's convention, then when would be the next likely time to do it? Or will they just show up a quietly as update on the Apple site some upcoming Tuesday morning?
Either way, their current state for both towers and monitors is a sorry at best... it's like sh*t (make regular updates to pro gear) or get off the pot with them (jettison pro gear and make only iphones and ipads)

A 27" HD monitor would have substantially lower resolution than Apple's current monitors.
Not if Apple uses the panel they use in their big iMac, unless you mean HD can only mean certain resolutions as defined by the ATSC standard.
HD is defined by two resolutions--720p (1280 x 720 for square pixels) and 1080i [and 1080p] (1920 x 1080 for square pixels). There are no if's, and's, or but's.
A 30" Apple Cinema Display has enough pixels to display four (4) separate 720p video streams at full resolution with space left over.

Fortunately, that is not the only definition of HD. Apple use HD to designate the 1440x950 display on my 15" MacBook Pro. It was clear that the OP meant the 2560x1440 display of the 27" iMac.
HD has long been a relatively reduced meaning pair of letters, though it hasn't been completely diluted yet. I understood what the original poster was asking for even if it wasn't pedantically accurate.
Apple probably isn't going to sell a new computer monitor lower than 100ppi (maybe a regular TV, but not a computer monitor), now that they've really laid down the gauntlet with very high pixel density and some resolution independence on the iPhone, hopefully that means they'll get on with resolution independence with Mac OS X. The Mac UI was originally designed for 72dpi and many of Apple's computer screens tend to be about roughly twice that these days, the UI hasn't been able to scale to that yet.
I have been wondering what takes so long to release a new 30" CD (mine looks so dark compared to MPB i7 display). I am no hardware expert, but it just occurred to me that have they been waiting something "big", new thing, something comparable to iPhone 4 Retina Display? A thing that makes a quantum leap in display quality?
