Will we ever see a NON Dell/Apple 30" Hi res LCD?

I was thinking along the lines of Sony, Viewsonic, and Samsung.

...though if they made one, it would probably be in the US$20K range.

BenQ is supposed to release one this august.

If anyone does, it'll probably use the same panel.

Yeah, but the backlighting and other things will be different - which could be good or bad, but that remains to be seen and depends on the company that makes it.

price/performance will be key

more competition usually is better...

I do not dislike the panel. Buying a LCD online is the issue. I can buy the Apple local, but it needs some kind of special converter to use with a PC. I was hoping that a B&M brand would release one. Hence Samsung, Viewsonic, and Sony.

As long as your video card has dual-DVI to drive the super high resolution, then the Apple should work just fine. It doesn't need any kind of adaptor or converter.

August?
Can someone pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee confirm this??? I beg of thee!

I've been waiting since march for some more news on the BenQ and the Samsung 30" hi res monitors. And if I don't get some new info soon I'm gonna freak! :|

It needs Dual-Link DVI, not just dual-DVI.

Well I would think thats a given because of the 2560x1600 resolution. But what I want to know is can any one confirm this supposed August release of information? For the BenQ I mean. =\
