where to find brand new apple cinema display

I'm looking to replace the 19 inch LCD i've been using as a second monitor for my macbook pro.

I'm not to familiar with all the LCD spec, just going by the looks of the screen and the design I want to go for the 23 inch cinema display HD from apple (yes i'm an apple fanboy i know) the problem is Apple just came out with the new LED displays that boycott all previous macs and macbook/pro. I check out the computer store on sfu burnaby and they only have the newer models.

Any idea where I might find a brand new 23 inch all aluminum display? would apple store in pacific center have any? any possible online sources that might still have it in stock? would be a bonus if i can use my educational discount as well.


What are some other choices that is comparable to apple's offering? I will be using it mostly to watch movie/edited the occasional video. surfing and WoW.

With the number of higher-quality 23" and 24" S-IPS and H-IPS panel based LCD screens that have come onto the market over the last 5 years since the Apple Cinema Display has been released, and at considerably better prices, I fail to see a compelling reason to purchase the Apple displays.

It's not nearly as aesthetically-pleasing as the Apple (it's pretty subdued with black and silver plastic), but the HP LP2475W is a fantastic H-IPS monitor that offers up great image quality (after calibration, of course) for around $750 with a lot more flexibility as far as ergonomics and video inputs go.

i manage to find a brand new in box from cl. now the seller claims its unopen and therefore still under warranty. anybody knows how apple warranty works seeing this is a discontinue product? I don't want to bring it home only to find it having black spot or worse dead and can't take it back.
