You don't need one till you have one.
Then you wish for something bigger.
My question is why one would need a 27" screen period, even on the iMac.
Short of doing video editing, crazy 3D work or stuff ...

Short of doing video editing, crazy 3D work or stuff like 27" strikes me as "too big." My 19" monitor I almost find too big sometimes.

Ok not really.

Macs have been industry standard for graphic arts, video editing and photography for longer than the decade I've been involved in the visual arts field - things like the 27" monitor and stable hardware/OS are part of the reason why.
I'm glad you've had a good experience with your Dell, but I have a ginormous Dell eyesore that eats up all the real estate on my desk (that happens to sit in my living room, really makes the place cozy) and has crashed its 2 hard drives every six months since I bought the way overpriced thing 7 years ago.
I'm saving my pennies for an iMac.
The all-in-one design is not for me. I am biased since I am using a dual monitor setup and do a lot of incremental upgrading.
They do look pretty in the store.
I just tried to create a Dell tower as close to a 27" iMac's specs as I could.
iMac: $1,999
Dell: $2,206
27" screen?! Who the hell needs a 27" screen?!
Apple is not advertising it, but there are reports that it is quietly buying back the faulty iMacs at 115% of the purchase price.
I have my 13" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard connected to a 32" LG monitor. Eez verra nize.iMacs can connect to an external monitor also via the mini-DVI port.

Why would they do that? The things are presumably still under warranty, why not just replace them?

That's what they are doing. There's no 115% buyback that I'm aware of.

No, they're definitely offering the buyback...

According to an Apple customer support discussion with one of our readers, the 15% bonus refund is officially for "tax and shipping"—it's a flat base rate to cover your return no matter the area you are in. So if you have an 8% sales tax, you may only be pocketing 7% (and even less after shipping if you don't have an Apple Store near). Obviously this offer ranges from small bonus to adequate refund, depending on your circumstance, but returning an iMac is far from a money making venture.
