That may be true, Apple buys the panels from an outside vendor of
course, but I'll bet the electronics driving the display panel are
different. That's not to say the Dell is better or worse.
There's more to a monitor than simply the tube or display panel
itself. Sometimes the rest of the package is just as important.
Apple's displays are well known to be held to very tight, high
quality standards. That's why they sell at a premium price.

Actually, I'm hearing good things about the ones Dell sells. Very
reasonable in price and capable of being calibrated. If you plan
to use your monitor for photography purposes, you should also
budget for calibration software/spyder. An uncalibrated monitor
makes it impossible to know what you are doing.
I use an Apple 17 for most of my work. It calibrates easily and
is exceptionally stable.
