Any opinions on the 24" LED monitor from Apple for photo editing? I don't do super color-critical stuff, but it would be nice to be accurate. It ain't cheap either but if its good in the color/accuracy/refresh rate department, it would complement my laptop nicely.

I have used one but don't own one. I'm pretty sure its an IPS panel. I was blown away by image quality. It seems real great but you would really want to be using it in an environment where you can control the lighting as it does reflect quite a bit of light.

I have one of these connected to my 2009 Mac Pro. It calibrated nicely and is a real treat to use with Photoshop and Aperture.

I use it in my former darkroom, so lighting is tightly controlled. Since the screen is so reflective, you'll need to take similar precautions if you use this display.

The reflections are one issue I have, in addition to the price. For the same price, I feel I could get a significantly better quality monitor...

Is an LED monitor like an LCD monitor?

LED refers to LED backlighting for an LCD display. More efficient, brighter, saves energy, etc. etc.
