There's a guy I know whose selling his mint, extremely low hour 30" Apple Cinema Display for $300. I've seen it upfront already. The display is bright and crisp, power supply works perfectly, and there are no cosmetic defects. The only problem it has is the USB hub causes the screen to black out when it is connected to a Mac. This appears to be a common issue with these monitors and Apple never issued a fix for it.
I recently purchased a Mac Pro 1.1 and the only external monitors I have are CRTs - my 1999 17" KDS, and my 1996 Apple Multiple Scan 17. I've never purchased an external LCD monitor as there hasn't been a need to do so.
With this defect and the age of the monitor in mind, is it worth purchasing this Cinema Display? What are your experiences with the 30" version?
