AnandTech: The 27-inch Apple iMac Review (2011)

AnandTech: It used to be that if you needed a fast desktop that ran OS X you pretty much had to shell out for a Mac Pro. With this generation I firmly believe that the 27-inch iMac is a real alternative. And unlike iMacs of the past, this new one is actually married to a display that the high end folks might actually want.

Faster components, but it won't look nearly as good. I've also had bad experience with Acer, they're probably one of the worst monitor manufacturers in terms of quality. That computer also won't be an all-in-one which is the appeal of the iMacs.

I See your point, i picked the acer monitor because apple is crazy with the resolution on that monitor and i just picked any random one. so the fact that its all in one pushes the price up?
