30" Cinema Display - talk me out of it!

I saw one yesterday and I want it!
Took all of my resolve not to buy the beautiful thing

So who's got one out there?
And why don't i need to have it?

Please someone talk me out of it - or i just might need to go back to the shop

You don't need to have one at all.... so go straight back to that store, buy it and give it to me.

Go the Dell, then get your trusty can of silver paint out. Would never know the difference.

It's big and heavy - your desk will flex if not break and it won't look good in your little room.
It's expensive - you can't really afford it, you think you can, but no you can't.
It's not what you want- you like the idea of it, but the reality is 30" is of little use to you. The concept is nice but it's not what you truly want.


Just doing what you asked us to. Need some further unconvincing?
