Higher Resolution iMacs

[mypod]

When do you kids think that apple will release the new iMacs with a higher resolution screen?

There was a rumor that Apple was going to offer an upgrade to 17 inch screens for new iMacs.

when there's much, much cheaper TFT screens. and I'd say it'll either bei 16" 1280*1024 or a wide screen.

My guess is that we might see this within this year.

Rumours are that Apple is reorganizing their whole display line, dropping the 22'' Cinema Display, adding a 19'' widescreen studio display. This sounds like the company maybe made new contracts with Samsung and maybe, the contracts are good enough to fit a 17 or 16'' TFT to the iMac...

Year 4278!

I think it'd be interesting to see Apple go 3:2 & 16:9/16:10 entirely. If the 19" had the res of the old Cinema display (1600*1024), it'd be a great productivity display. Plus a 17" wide screen for the iMac (1280*854 like the Ti?) and a 13" 1152*768 for the iBook line. That'd be great. Although I'd keep the 12" for the iBook, it's a great value all-in-one package, I think.

I am going to buy an Apple at the end of July just hoping that there will be something by then.
