I have the Sony 24", Dell 30" and Cinema 30". The Dell has better picture quality on the Mac but you will have color workflow nightmares if you try to use it with Photoshop, Aperture, Lightroom, etc. I spent over 80 hours trying to get things to look the same in Aperture as the JPG that it saves out. I eventually gave up and got the Cinema and instantly my workflow problems went away. I've had tons of graphic professionals tell me I just didn't have things set up correctly but I am fairly certain there is no way to get the Dell to work correctly with color managed applications. For the browser and general usage it is superior, but if you do a lot of stuff with photos or videos editing I recommend you spend the extra money on the Cinema. Yes, it sucks but that's Apple for you.
