Woburn, MA | said by SteveLV702:no it wont cost more then if it was from any other company... It's going to cost more than a regular HD TV since it's got a bunch of stuff built in. As far as costing 8k I doubt that as in that case its more practical to buy a better tv and just get an Apple TV to plug into it.

That's a terribly ignorant comment...and very "matter of fact" for something that is still pure speculation.
Let's move on to FACTS: Look at apple's GM vs Panasonic's and Samsung's. Apple is used to making MUCH higher margins than those that exist in the HDTV space. Don't you think Wall Street would have a FIT if they shrink margins.
Look at PC's...much higher margins than their competitors...and much higher retail prices to go along with it. |

ignorant comment how so? people say Apple is over priced just because they don't offer that many systems so just seems that way but if you actually breakdown their systems and compare with other manufacturers spec for spec they will be just about the same price...
A month ago I read a company who did a study on it I will try to find the link again but each time sony came out more expensive by atleast $200 |

Hilliard, OH | The comment is ignorant because you (and I) have absolutely no idea how much these sets will cost. With no information available on the cost, any statement regarding the cost is "ignorant".
I'd like to see the PC link you mention. |

said by SteveLV702:no it wont cost more then if it was from any other company... What makes you say what? I would say otherwise, given the fact that apple cinema displays cost significantly more than comparable lcd monitors as a comparable trend.

I think the real issue is that Apple wants to become a big mover and shaker in VOD and PPV, the way they have with Music and iTunes.
The cost of the TV's isn't the big deal, they are thinking of the profits from everyone pulling down movies and video from iTunes.
Basically, it's like the Video games model. Sell the console for relatively cheap, but make $$$ on the backend with the content.

said by Frank:given the fact that apple cinema displays cost significantly more than comparable lcd monitors as a comparable trend. Can you please show me a single display that costs the same, or less than an Apple Cinema Display? I'm going to assume you do know the meaning of 'comparable', as you used it several times in your statement.
Also, please use MSRP prices. I don't care how much you can buy a (heavily depreciated) one for on ebay. For reference, the MSRP for the Cinema Displays are listed below.
20" $599
23" $899
30" $1799

Stony Brook, NY | 20" Apple ($594): »www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···24110001
20" Samsung ($330):
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···24001282
Pluses for Apple 20":
Better viewing angle
2 Firewire ports
A bit smaller in overall size
Pluses for Samsung:
Better contract ratio
Better refresh (assuming the 5ms should be 10ms total)
Lower power consumption
Built in TV tuner
HDMI connector
3-year warranty
3W speakers (maybe)
That seems "comparable" to me. |

Wait... comparable... in what way, exactly?
You can't possibly be serious, suggesting a Twisted Nematic panel is even remotely comparable to an Apple Cinema Display.

The Dell's MSRP is $1999.
The Planar's MSRP is $899.
Don't forget that the Apple Cinema Display is cut from a single piece of aluminium, also.

Hilliard, OH | you are forgetting about costs, which drive the margins that apple will not be able to compete with.
For Example:
the dell has a dealer cost of just over $1100
the apple has a dealer cost of just over $1600
While the apple is made out of aluminum, the Dell has a few tricks up it's sleeve as well. Apple's dealer cost is nearly 50% higher than the Dell... |

Obviously, you'll never agree anything is "comparable" to Apple, since you think Apple is the best and will make any excuse to prove it.
Its called "delusional". |

Louisville, KY | I'm delusional because I think LG's IPS technology is superior to TN? A technology that IPS was originally designed to improve upon TN's inherent weaknesses? I think you're misinformed, or rather, uninformed.
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_film_···play#IPS
Do your research next time, before making false accusations.
and for your information, my displays are Dell, not Apple. I never said Apples displays were "the best", my point to prove was that the price is in line with the manufacturing, material, and component costs and are not in any way "overpriced".
