I haven't visually compared them in person, but the Sony SDM-P232W/B is the
same 16:10 widescreen size (23"), and has the same native resulution
(1920x1200) as the 23" Cinema Display. Plus, it lists for $500 less and
natively supports DVI-D and HD15.
DVI-D appears to be a digital-only connectotion. I'm not 100% sure, but it
appears that a DVI-D cable can be connected to a DVI-I connector. ATI

you didn't have your heart set on the Cinema Display's physical looks.
Price Watch (www.pricewatch.com) has the Sony for as low as about $2500. I
saw one in Fry's here in San Diego (for list price, ie $3000) about a week
ago, and thought it looked pretty sweet.
I'd give you the link on Sony's site, but it's accessed via a CGI program,
so I can't post the link.

If you do go with the Sony, (...) (22 years ago, 9-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
