What is the Windows PC monitor equivalent to Apple Mac monitor?

Q. What is the Windows PC monitor equivalent to the Apple Mac monitor?
I'm not talking about programs or software, I'm talking about the actual hardware monitor.

A. Hi Melissa, hope sincerely you are fine.

If you are not talking about software, then certainly you mean the LCD technology behind! The LCD Panel inside iMacs are manufactured by LG, they are made in China and only assembled in California by Apple. For example the 27" LCD in iMac have the following specs: LED-backlit glossy widescreen TFT active-matrix liquid crystal display with IPS technology,
Resolution: 2560 by 1440 pixels,
Typical brightness: 375 cd/m2,
It can be attached to a wall mount, articulating arm, or other VESA-compliant mounting solution using the optional VESA Mount Adapter Kit. Technically speaking, it is really hard to get an equivalent Monitor using this LCD technology in the market presently. I don't find any monitor competing with the Apple LCD technology.

As for the Apple Cinema Display 27" (i.e monitor only) the following can be noted:
27-inch (diagonal viewable image size) thin film transistor (TFT) active-matrix liquid crystal display with in-plane switching (IPS).

Supported resolutions: 2560 by 1440 pixels, 1920 by 1080 pixels, 1280 by 720 pixels
Colors (maximum): 16.7 million
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Viewing angle: 178° horizontal; 178° vertical
Brightness (typical): 375 cd/m2
Contrast ratio (typical): 1000:1
Response time (typical): 12 ms

To get the equivalent for this is really really hard although not impossible. According to my experience, I haven't seen another display equivalent to the Apple Cinema Display. That said, the Apple Cinema Display has it's disadvantages as well for eg it uses a Mini Display Port!

I know that i haven't answer your question by naming to you the exact equivalent monitor but I say that I haven't found anything matching the Apple Cinema Display yet. If you happen to get one that can match Apple's, please do let me know.

I hope that I have been of some help while sharing my experience to you Melissa. Wish you good luck. All the best.


What is the highest resolution computer monitor out there?
Q. I'm looking for a monitor that can display at least 12 megabytes without compressing the image. If possible, I would even like to find a way to view RAW images without multiple monitors.
Sorry, I was really tired when I wrote this. I meant megapixels, not megabytes.

A. The highest-resolution monitor currently available in the retail market would be the WQXGA monitors like the 30" Apple Cinema Display, Dell 3008WFP, HP LP3065, etc. These are 30" LCD panels with 2560x1600 resolution, and requires dual-link DVI. These display 4 megapixels.

There are higher-resolution monitors out there, but they need to be custom-ordered from companies like Eizo, Barco, ITech, Planar, etc., and they cost an arm and a leg and your firstborn. An example would be the Eyevis 56" LCD, which displays 8 megapixels and requires two dual-link DVI connections and costs $50,000: http://www.eyevis.de/eyevis%20HP%20NEU%20Okt%2007_EN/index.php?action=lcd5600
