By the way what photo editing software are you using? I wonder if one can install pirated software on a Mac (considering that I won't be forking out a fortune to get Aperture) <strong>Adino</strong>: It's still in draft mode. I've written it halfway, and will probably be up by the end of this week. Just go ahead and get it. You won't regret. And yes, if you can afford, do get the 24". You can use it as a TV! But personally I think if you're not doing any graphic design or thinking of using it to replace your TV, then you don't need such a big screen. Very tired to move the mouse around the big screen hehe! Yes, you will still be able to install pirated software on a Mac, but then I have not had to do so because I found open source alternatives. For photo editing I'm just using iPhoto that comes as part of OS X. I don't know how to do photo editing anyway, other than to crop and adjust colors. I use a shareware app called Downsize to add photo watermarks. Hi Adino…we’re still waiting for a technical review! :)

Just now i've planned to buy the same like you, but I see the news from many forum the LCD quality 20" apple monitor really bad..especially is we see from side angle the color will be changed, and the color also brighter at the bottom of the monitor and darker at the top. Is it correct ? Plz share ur exp, can send email to me :) <strong>Adino</strong>: Hi Raffaell, The LCD is amazing, photos really look wonderful and life-like on the screen. For me, I don't have the problem of the viewing angle. Even from 45 degrees to the side, the color still looks acceptable. If you will be using the iMac as a computer (which means you are sitting in front of the screen) then you shouldn't have any problems. I suspect those comments in the forum comes from people who are using the iMac as a media centre PC, and replacing their TV in their living room. Then perhaps viewing angle is important. I don't have any problems with brightness, it is consistent top and bottom. My advice is to go ahead with the purchase... it is an amazing computer. Hi,
