  • You seem like a spoiled brat, "CHEAP 400 dell" yeah ill have your four hundred itlf its only change to Mr 4000dollar mac shit.

  • that is far far farrrrr from a "professional work space" mr. professional.

  • so your saying an extra 500 to see a little blue in the picture i dont think so....plus u didnt even configure the monitor correctly u dumbass mac fanboy shit head

  • do do professional work with photos and movies, you need specialist displays, not Mac displays. A pro display for vid and still photography start at around 4 grand

    I have two 27inch Imacs and software and stuff, all excellent, and I'll never return to OC, BUT! for photos, you need The Eizo ColorEdge Series: CG220, CG210, CE240W, CE210W. That kinda thing

    Sadly Mac displays are too cheap and ill equipped to get the best from the photo. They are also gloss and you need Matt glass for photo

  • @alanbstard4 Apart from the bad glossy move by Apple, Macs are great and are used by many professionals exclusively.

  • Comment removed

  • nice , like the aks nit

  • dell doesn't make their own monitors, NEC makes most of them and dell just slaps their name on it. if you wanted a GOOD monitor you wouldn't pay for a dell monitor anyway, dell monitors are of the cheapest you can buy. acer has the cheapest i've found

  • i think its funny how you always rip on pc's and microsoft but yet you use a lot of pc things lolol

  • the apple does have more color

    

  • i don't know about you but... i use a 36" 4800X2400 1 grand. 120fps 250mhz

  • BTW I have a feeling that you had the settings on the Dell moniter altered or had them brushed out...

  • Where's the song from?

  • JBOD IS NOT RAID YOU FUCKTARD!!!

  • LOL He always compares shit to dell... one of the cheapest sack of shit companys that makes PC equipment... get a samsung, vizio, alienware, etc screen and compare it to a apple one. Hell I can get a full HD 24" screen from samsung for less than 500 lol.

  • i hope youre happy knowing youre the most hated person on youtube. enjoy your overpriced crap.

  • DELL SUCKS LOL SO DO PCS ...........MAC!

  • @PQPLAYER92 Macs are PCs. Check the first Wikipedia line for 'Macintosh'.

  • well i as expecting alot more of youre room man i actualy think youre gay

  • the dell ultrasharp is the same exact thing as the mac cinema display, i have both. You just have to adjust the settings on the dell cinema display but it is the same exact thing...

  • fake and gay

  • Only a fool would question Apple's superior quality.

  • @icoopers Only a fool would buy Apple's overpriced slow sloppy hardware.

  • @aranhar That's why today no one buys nor support Microsoft :( Only a fool would buy a generic useless unreliable PC. Back at ya :)

  • @icoopers I'm an Apple fanboy and while I agree that Apple's products are OBVIOUSLY superior, someone who questions anything is the exact opposite of a fool.

  • @Nutz320 So wait a mac is basicly a overpriced as hell pc that actually doesnt do anything hardware wise faster. MacOS on the other hand is a better optimized OS than windows BUT it doesnt support even near as much. Pricewise a Mac will never ever be faster than a PC. Thats the thing. Doesnt matter if MacOS has abit better optimization when the hardware difrence is so huge.

  • @aranhar "Doesnt matter if MacOS has abit better optimization" That's the thing though. OS X is FAR more optimised than Windows, especially considering it runs on specific hardware. Ever heard of reliable sleep and wake? That's h/w and s/w working synonymously.

    "doesnt do anything hardware wise faster." Not necesarilly. Apple's hardware isn't going to be the cheapest, but I think you'll find it's quite competitive. EXCEPT RAM. DON'T EVER BUY RAM FROM APPLE.

  • Damn, I wish I had the money for that pro of an editing space.

  • im so tired of this mac vs pc bullshit. its so played out. IMHO, anyone who gets caught up in this shit is technologically insecure.

  • @detibry That's obvious when it's true, but sometimes, we just want to defend the platform we love from all the lies out there.

  • Haha he bought the cheapest monitor to tell you that apple is greater haha.

    

  • C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!!!!

    You're clueless about computers. If you have the balls, compare a mac laptop with an equivalent asus laptop. Goodluck!

  • @Spikington2 Damn straight. Comparing it to a Dell would be like comparing it to a wooden log which is kinda like using a Mac! ;D

  • You mentioned in your video that you rip DVDs. What program do you use or recommend for the Mac to rip DVDs?

  • @eha1990 I don' t rip DVDs, but Handbrake seems really popular.

  • i cant find the emeek77 user can u please help me

  • DONT GET DELL FFS

  • So what your saying is the picture you made, looks crap on anything but a mac monitor. If it really isn't a contrast issue on the dell settings then your picture is going to look crap on the majority of the worlds monitors. You should fix your picture and unless all your target audience are using macs. or just hit the settings button on your dell...

  • UBUNTU FTW...! haha

  • How the fuck does the Apple display look better even if it has a lower resolution? HOP OFF YOUR FUCKING Fanboyism.

  • i like how this video is called "mac vs pc" and all i see is 2 macs and a monitor

  • 300$ dell, haha emeek is totally retarded

  • As anti PC/Gaming he is I find it so contradicting that his mouse is a Razor Gaming mouse

  • Ya I see the apple shows the pink and re better and doesn't seem to have as much glare

  • What an idiot, "the Dells whites are blown out".

    Turn the contrast down you idiot. It's not like Apple manufactures or designs the panels anyway.

  • @baggedandblown Apple doesn't manufacture it, but they do design it. Are you dumb? Every Apple product I've opened says, "Designed by Apple in California"

    Designers are given the same respect and admiration and special treatment as engineers at Apple, because they realise the importance of designers. Something no other company does, it seems.

  • @Nutz320 Are you retarded? I highly doubt Apple had even one word in the design of the panel. They may have designed the pretty exterior of the monitor, but the panel would have been sourced from another company.

  • @baggedandblown w w w . flickr . c o m / photos / smokingapples / 3754301425 /

    Of course they don't design the panels, they decide what panels to use, they design the ergonomics, aesthetics, decide what ports to use, what hardware to put in there, etc. Then they put them together, whether by Apple or other companies. Point is, Apple makes the decisions and then they get Foxconn or whoever to manufacture it. Or they may source the panels from other companies if the panel THEY WANT exists already.

  • hillbilly......haaha jk

  • 3:41 i def can

  • ok im not judgeing in anyway, im not a fan boy, but i have windows 7 and two disks drive and i can rip from one cd and copy to another at the same time, but he said he had some special software to do that? i run mac osx on the laptop so i just assumed it could do that, you learn sumin new every day lol

  • redneck

  • lol the country music in the background

  • I agree, Dell doesnt make the best video equipment.

  • lol You simply adjusted the contrast on the Dell, you can not fool me. I have many years doing graphic design both with pictures and videos so it is a simple fix. :)

  • @cwilbr

    No, his Dell is using a TN panel.

    I'm going to school right now to get my graphic design masters.

    You can not fool me. He does not need to adjust the contrast. It has absolutely nothing to do with the contrast. It is completely dependent on the display panel it is utilizing.

  • @cwilbr Dude, not everything is a simple adjustment fix. Maybe he tried to get it to work, but he didn't find it.

  • @cwilbr Macs are really good machines, just very high in price and a lot of people can't afford it....yes I agree you get what you pay for but if you don't have the money windows is way more affordable and still very good machines with alot of pizazz ...I have had a few powerbooks but older models that were not that great couldn't buy these new ones for the price, if I could I would buy the new macbook air and imac....now I am still with a windows laptop and it gets the job done...

  • just shut up .... seriously you got no idea what you talking about .... get a clue about panels and display technologies ...

  • yeah right... Like you do know what you are talking about

  • Could you please tell me which dell it is .PLEASE

  • The one on the right is the Dell. He kind of says it during the video and you can see an apple on the bottom of the Apple moniter.

  • i actually ment modell :) thanks anyway

  • Trying to rip off the i-sight? Dude, companies have been putting cameras in displays for ages. Apple wasn't 'OH FIRST FIRST WE OWN IT ANYONE TRYING IS COPYING!"

    no.

  • What kind of Dell is it?

    Did you calibrate it?

    My best guess is that you bought a Dell with TN-panel and you compare it with your Apple Display that uses IPS-panel.

    If that is the case, you just stepped into a big bowl of salad.

    IPS is better for image-editing, because it is more true to color.

    TN is cheaper, not as good colourwise, and is not comparable with IPS.

    If you take your Apple display and compare it to Dell U2410 (which uses IPS) you would see less difference, if any at all.

  • So much true to color

  • If you look real close you can see balled up Kleenex on the foor... I wonder what that is from....

    I also wonder how many cars this guy has hidden in his front lawn

  • Wow, as if you're the first person to crack on his southern accent. Let me guess, you probably mentally masturbated after that "zinger," right? Crawl back into your mommy's closet, troll.

  • Shuddup redneck

  • Keep fuckin that chicken.

  • That what you rednecks do?

  • You seem to like it. Maybe you're a redneck (inside). Maybe you dress up like one in your mom's closet. Who can say? Keep that fuckin that chicken!

  • Only thing I am fucking is your mom. By the way, is your family tree a wreath redneck?

  • What is weird is that Apple displays look really good and Macs in general. But Macs have a 1.5 gamma unlike all others have 2.2 gamma. Which is a problem only when you do a lot with photography and upload pictures to the internet because when you upload pictures form a Mac they get washed out if you don't change the setting when you edit them. Web browsers use the same 2.2 gamma as the other operating systems do because Macs are the only ones that use 1.5. It makes no since. lol

  • Incorrect. The *MacOS* until SL used 1.5 gamma while SL uses 2.2 gamma (see Mac OS X v10.6: About gamma 2.2 at the support section of Apple's own web site). SO a Mac will display the SAME gamma on a Mac monitor as a PC so that Dell monitor is trying to process 1.5 gamma and doing a crappy job of it. Sheesh.

  • Oh haha. okay. well I edit pictures and all in photoshop and I have to change the setting to color proof for it to be right when I upload them. But I also have a Mac Mini hooked up to a 42 inch plasma. lol. I have never edited on a Mac display well at least the newer ones. lol and at school I use a tablet instead of Mac display and I have to color proof on it also. So idk. just another thought. lol

  • dsmrocker you really the lay off the Nitrous oxide as it seems to being killing the discriminating parts of your brain..or at least the parts the previous versions of Windows didn't kill. :-)

  • i'm not discriminating. I love Macs thats all thats in my house. lol I don't do that stuff any kind of stuff lol i don't need it. lol i'm to hyper and stuff without and yeah. i know you was just playing. lol windows is stupid and sucks super bad compared to OSX!

  • I wouldn't go as far as to say Windows is stupid but that it has the same problem as the Classic MacOS did--too much legacy code to be effectively moved forward on it own. Now the multiple system issue THAT I will grant is stupid--it is a needless resource drain as instead of one version MS has to effectively support six.

  • yeah its just my thought on it. it could be really good though but isn't. well not to me. and i don't know what MS and all that is. lol

  • MS is short for MicroSoft (duh). While we are on the topic of STUPID ways to waste computer resources take a look at W7's insanely IDIOTIC Windows XP Mode. Instead of doing what Apple did via Classic MS uses Virtural PC and emulates a PC to to run.

    Now you are run a PC hardware emulator on PC hardware to run an OS that runs on PC hardware. SAY WHAT?!? Just what kind of IDIOTS does MS have in its programing Dept?!?

  • Oh haha. i'm stupid. lol never seen it that way. sorry.

  • you should you use a spectrometer to calibrate the monitor's. Look up xrite.

  • Sweet gear

  • whats size is the ACD that u are using? 23" or 20"? and how much did u spend on it?

  • Comment removed

  • you should have gotten a samsung it looks great

  • Apple monitors are overpriced, but not nearly as much as people believe them to be. An Apple Cinema Display instantly outclasses some shitty TN panel for $300 or so, but Dell does offer some high quality IPS and S-PVA displays that have very high color accuracy and a wide color gamut. You can't buy the cheapest shit and compare it to a quality product. You have to buy quality products from both.

  • tru

  • Video professionals would go for a 30-bit panel, like the HP dreamcolor LP2480zx.

  • huey + dell monitor costs less than overpriced apple cinema display. your just an arrogant fanboy, wanna combat me go ahead.

  • I noticed the same thing when i hooked up the 19 inch LCD monitor from my old PC to my iMac and it wasn't until i could move an image between the two that i could really notice the difference.

  • the apple moniter looks brighter and more vibrate just in the video!! In my school my friend had a seizer looking a pc moniter for 38 minutes. He now brings his mac to school.

  • I'm guessing it was a low response-rate CRT. Macs also had them, and believe it or not, I've also had a seizure while using them. It was a friends PowerMac G4

  • how do u know that the screen is the reason to y u had seizures? maybe u just have seizures it might be normal for u, or your not aware of y and how u get it.... i doubt u get seizures cuz of the display, there must be some other reason to why u r getting seizures. Did u visit your family doctor for this? r u on any medication? trust me i am studying life science, and health studies in Uni and i know for a fact that u cant get seizures from viewing any specific display. Have u ever had it b4?

  • I know retard, my moms a nurse practitioner, I think that beats your unfinished life science course. FYI, CRTs are a refreshing/strobing light, and we looked into it and indeed, a strobe light/monitor at 40-60hz will give me a seizure.

  • do you know how stupid that comment makes you sound?

    are you implying that a mac screen is seizure proof?

    and you spelled seizure wrong *face palm*

  • lol i would take a cheap moniter over an apple anyday mostly because im partly color blond=P so i cant really tell the difference

  • sony monitors and samsungs destroy anything apple has out on the market. The response times is pathetic on their monitors.

  • Apple displays aren't for uber response times, they're for accurate colour representation for professional work such as graphic design, video editing, web design and so on. The SONY and Samsung ones are for watching videos and playing games, hence the response time and more vibrant colours. They're not made for proper colour work.

  • if u know about profesional monitors, ud know that sony and samsung monitors are not considerd as much as apple cinema display, Eizo, and the ultrasharp dells. Sony and samsung is gud for movies and TVs, consumer stuff, but not for pros. Yes they have high RT, and CR, but color gamuts are not as high and accurate, Consumer panels are made from TN panel technology, which is gud at giving high CR, and RT but color gamut isnt as high and viewing angles are bad, pro panels use IPS

  • Plasmas are the best for color gamut. But mostly, consumers don't care about that type of shit. They just want something to view. And the New Samsung LED TV's are sharper than ever. The true next gen technology lies in OLED's Those pretty much destroy anything anyone's got.

  • plasmas hav the best for color gamut? hmm maybe the highest end panels, but they usually have problems wit there white/blacks( wdn't bug a consumer) a graphic artist and pro photographer wdn't use a plasma for their work,& the screen glass gives to much glare, + viewing angles arnt the best. And i never said consumers care about that, my whole point was that if u a consumer ull be more then happy with Most screens, if u a pro u need to go more specific, and i wasnt talking about the future =P

  • what model of dell is that

  • emeek you have to buy monitors with high responsetime if you want colour quality. Apple displays have usually 14 ms. Less ms on the other hand is better for gaming and helps to lower the tearing.

  • Agreed. I bought a viewsonic a couple of months back primarily for gaming, because it had 6ms response time, but was very disappointed with its performance as a pc monitor.

  • Comment removed

  • yeah unlike pc u dnt have to upgrade...just thro it away and buy new one...damn sooo easy

  • Apple monitors are made my Samsung.

    enjoy your games.

  • Also, All Mac hardware is made by Asus. This fag sure got told.

  • LOLOLOLOLOL

  • lolol, the guy above say asus, lol. and samsung make awesome displays if thats true.

  • everybody who hates i mean hates! emeek77 should just get a life i mean the mean haterz it so anoying looking at swere words

  • this rocks! mac are better in many ways

  • Did you calibrate the damn monitor? I mean, they probably pre-calibrate the Apple monitors out of the factory, but if you're doing 'professional' work you should have a hardware monitor calibrator, or at least know how to calibrate your monitors so that they at least look similar.

  • i dont do work at home that requires color correction thats precise. Yes they are calibrated.. My work has a broadcast monitor we use so I have no need at home.

  • If they were calibrated they would look almost exactly the same unless

    A) Calibrated wrong

    B) The monitor is just shitty (which may be the case, but I doubt it's THAT bad)

  • Crap displays are just that, crap. It doesn't matter how long or how well you calibrate them, if you get a cheap display like that it's just not going to be anywhere good enough for professional colour work, the colours just aren't true to life enough. That's why the pro displays from HP, Dell, Samsung and so on all cost a lot like the Apple displays, because they're made with a higher colour gamut and sacrifice response time for accurate consistent colour accorss the whole panel.

  • you're talking about idiots who are brand-minded

  • A 30-inch IPS or PVA panel from Dell is closer to $1200 or so than the price of the Cinema Display.

  • Dell do good monitors (and in my opinion that's the only good things they do). I don't think they sell the 30" any more. I've not seen them in their config options or on their site at all for a good while. They offer Samsung 30" displays, but no longer their own brandedones. They use the same panels as Apple do anyway for their pro lines so the difference is mostly personal preferance at the end. Although from seeing both in person the Apple displays hold the slight edge in colour accuracy.

  • They have two different 2560x1600 monitors, I think one's S-PVA and the other is IPS. They may both be IPS though. I just saw them yesterday, so I'm sure they're there. Just check again, from the Accessories page.

  • You should have that Intro on all your vids.

  • Mac sucks

  • i so would tune into uStream. I would have allot of questions to ask you :D

    i am getting a dell monitor, I know. But, i am only 15, Im on a tight budget. But yeah, My next machine, On christmas, will be either a iMac or a used (older generation) Mac Pro (the lowers end) i would upgrade myself in the future

  • i guess the mac pro will still be better?

  • Trying to rip off the iSight ... Thats like saying Microsoft Ripped off Apple for using a keyboard (I know that sounds stupid but thats my point) One Display costs $1000 one Display costs $300 Ofcourse their going to be different.

  • i wish i can interview you on skype, or ichat or something sometime.

  • when are you going to ustream

  • do you record your screenslows vids using that dell webcam, or an external camera

  • calibrate the dell u fool

  • That isn't always as easy as you'd think. Some displays just aren't made for accurate professional colour work, so no matter how much you tinker with the settings it's just not going to give you the results you're after. You need top quality pro displays for proper output, and Apple make some of the best displays for this purpose. HP and Dell have their pro range too which cost roughly the same as the Apple displays, sometimes even more dispite less accurate colour representation.

  • Appleshit cost x3... I'm happy with our samsung series 6 than ur assy mac shit. no life PC... soooo boring... boring mac shit beige box!

  • nice setup 5 stars

  • The reason Macs are so expensive is becasue they require a lot of ram and things for its HD graphics and such a big os so I guess macs are worth the 1000 dollars they cost. ;)

  • Haha. You're sooooo funny. And wrong.

  • For $300 he's complaining? A good Apple monitor costs 3 times as much. He is comparing Apples to Oranges. Dell makes some damn good monitors - but he's obviously too cheap to buy one that is higher in quality. He just complains because he likes the sound of his own voice.

  • Apple sell some of the highest quality monitors you can buy. They're made for professional work where you need colour representation to be as close to real life as possible to give you the best results. If you get an equally good display from other vendors you'll spend about as much as getting an Apple one anyway.

  • truuue

  • I think some guy named emeek was telling me how mac sucks. lmfao. That's why I even clicked on this vid. I bet this redneck is fucking his apple screen right now. lawl

  • i like thwt apple keyboard over the new 1...wat do u think emeek??

  • Why do you rip off Netflix?

  • I'm surprised, he's using a gaming mouse. Though its probably because of the precision.

  • Your getting confused. The Apple monitor is LED BACKLIT which means that instead of using florescent lights (those long ones) to light up the screen it uses LEDs which are similar to the new macbook designs. The LED makes the colors pop more and makes for a brighter less power consuming display.

  • Lol, get a clue voiceofreason467.

    The ACD of Eric doesn't use LED backlight, just the old CCFL. And about LCD, get your facts straight, they're BOTH LCD displays. Don't confuse backlight with screen technology.

  • All the solid silver cinema displays are LCD display / TFT active matrix. Only the new glass covered, black rimmed cinema displays are LED. And I agree with jsgiv99, emeek77 should not have expected a non ultrasharp dell monitor to compare with the cinema display.

  • hahahaha. Wow, look at you! Spend 5 seconds on a review site of the NEWEST ACD and you think that his cinema display is also the newest. Sorry man, this Cinema display is NOT LED, this is an LCD display... just like the Dell.

  • Yet it's still not a 1:1 comparison from a product standpoint - which is what emeek77 / AppleSoldier / WhateverHisNameIs failed to note in the video. If he had spent 5 seconds reading up on the Dell Monitor - he'd have figured out that it was *not* going to be comparable to the Apple Display - instead of making a big stupid deal about it anyway..

  • It's a Dell S2409W - a TN Panel - the Apple Display (IPS I believe) SHOULD look better in all aspects - hands down. *Try* calibrating it - it's a very decent monitor for the price. If you're going to pit 2 monitors against each other - at least get the same base technology before you blast it. Also - looks like he's got the background image stretched on the Dell - should be set to a native resolution of 1920x1080 (which obviously he doesn't know per his comments towards the end there).

  • Emeek, i may not have payed full attention, but is that Dell monitor an ultrasharp? If so, there is no difference whatsoever. Because, they are the exact same display. All the internal parts are exactly the same, the only difference is more ports on the Dell, and its cheaper.

  • You should get a Spyder 3 and calibrate the Dell monitor. :D

    Btw, my Hackintosh has an internal DVD-ROM and an internal DVD-Burner. No need for an external one. ;)

  • i...sight

  • this mightve been answered before but what model is that external drive? i was thinking about getting one to copy dvds and i dont want to wear out my superdrive

  • Holy crap. The Apple display is much more better even on youtube!

  • One question. If you knew you needed a mat screen the why the f*** did you buy a glossy? :O

  • Apple displays are more expensive because they're IPS. IPS displays are top of the line, have a larger viewing angle, show true colors, and have a better picture. All IPS displays are expensive when compared to TN monitors. That's because they're higher quality.

  • Dude I would keep looking for a better screen if I were you. I'm a photographer and I feel you on needing proper color. But the Dell screen and others give you so much more realestate.

    Have you messed with this settings? Maybe you can calibrate the dell and get more color from it.

    It would such to have to drop your resolution just to get better color. I say keep looking.

  • Maybe the next thing you should buy is a new chair.

  • the new apple display is awesome but expensive :(

  • your right the colors are not the same, the apple gear is closer to print color. its a total preference on what your doing on what is trueer color.

  • do u use ur macbook

  • i got an LG it looks amazing. If you want true coolour yo should buy a plasma tv. CRT are good for colour its hard to find any new ones.

  • Learn to adjust your non-Apple screens, mister.

  • having around 10.000$ at the desk its easy to talk like you do. "you get what you pay for." since there are macintoshes, you dont.

    since there is linux, you dont.

    i have a middle-res gaming captible wacom powered tablet pc with touchscreen for around 900$. (+22" LG227) do you think im less then a third productive with it than you with a 2700$ mac pro? ;D apple marketing has you. and your money. well done. fool. ^^

  • correction: i mean hackintoshes of course.

  • Its called paying for quality and supporting your favorite company.

    Fuck off, you are the death of the computer world as we know it.

  • what black mouse was tht

  • razer mouse

  • isight

  • Emeek, what kind of ebcam do you use?
