MacBidouille, the french rumor site, reports that Apple seems to have quietly updated its 30" ACD. New specs are: Contrast ratio 700:1 (old 400:1), Brightness 400cd/m2(old 270). MacBidouille
Those would be good upgrade specs. However that's not something that should be a quiet upgrade because say a person has two 30in ACD. One old and one new...I'd suppose it'd be hard to match them up.

And I suppose if Apple thought this flawed, they'd recall all the old ones and for an upgrade charge give you a better one so you aren't interrupted in your specs, right?
You get what you purchase at the time of purchase. Technology advances and you purchase a newer version. You live with the differences.
One thing: The upgrade really wasn't necessary. OK its a nice upgrade but as many pro users will tell you the brightness on this thing and colour accuracy is second to none when you compare it to other displays so I wonder why they bothered at all.
Yes it would suck if you intended to buy a 2nd display. I agree.

Has anyone here compared it to the Dell 30" display. They have essentially the same specs. The Dell is $300 cheaper.

Ok, so it shows the "new" stats. Can anyone confirm it was different before?
I remember it being 400:1 contrast ratio. Does that help?

Indubitably! In fact that's one of Apple's marketing points: "Mo' Vivid Areolas"
