I'm more interested in the 24" model, although the press release goes a long way to convince me it's actually 28.3" display despite the name. edit: the tech specs page convince me the name is not ridiculously misleading. Seriously interested of this one.

It's a typo.

It's a typo.

What part is a typo, though? The 24 or the 28.3?

Now I'll be shocked if Apple don't release something similar with the Mac Pro this month.

The Thunderbolt display is desperately in need of a refresh. How do you think a new Thunderbolt will match up with this Dell UltraHD monitor?

I think it's likely that the new Thunderbolt display will be the exact same 23.8" panel, but with updated Thunderbolt expansion hardware (USB 3.0, &c.)

A theory is that Apple is being a large consumer of this display panel. This leads to more of these display panels being produced which leads to a lower price. It seems odd that the other sizes (24 and 32) are much more expensive than this 28.
