Based on numerous comments on TNO Live, Dell monitors appear to be very good values in the US. This is not the case in the UK.
The cost of 30 inch Dell is £1,185.58 inc VAT, which is nearly identical to a 30 inch Apple at £1,199.00 inc VAT (Apple UK Store). The Dell is more expensive than the cost of an Apple display at the UK educational store: 30 inch Apple Cinema Display = £1,049.00 inc VAT.
This is not to say Apple displays are good values or even competitive in the UK. I have a 24 inch ViewSonic, which is really excellent and was £200 (ca. $400) cheaper than an Apple 23 inch Cinema Display (£599).
Apple needs to price their displays more competitively.
