Place your display anywhere and adjust it effortlessly. An elegant aluminum enclosure, advanced hinge technology and peripheral support give you the flexibility you require. The optional VESA mount lets you use a flat panel in surprising new ways - build it into a museum kiosk, mount it on a wall in an office lobby or show changes to a client with the help of an articulating arm.
Color Coordinated
Your Apple display matches the sculpted aluminum enclosures of the Power Mac G5 and PowerBook G4, and for good reason. Apple designers carefully chose this hue to minimize interference with onscreen color, so you have a neutral reference point for viewing your work. And because this strong, anodized aluminum allows for an exceptionally narrow bezel, you can put multiple displays right next to each other, for a virtually seamless picture.
Effortless Adjustment
The smooth motion hinge on your Apple display requires very little pressure to tilt the monitor to a different position. This design allows you to view the display at whatever angle works for your environment, anywhere from -5° to 25°.
Desktop Peripherals
Every display includes a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports. So you can connect a printer, scanner, camcorder, or digital camera. The FireWire port lets you easily use an iSight camera for video chat. You can also make best use of all the latest USB 2.0 devices - or keep your iPod dock in a handy location - whether you’re using your Apple display with a Mac or PC.
Become Unhinged
The new Apple displays have the smallest possible footprint - but you can reduce it to nothing at all. The optional VESA FDMI mount conforms to the standard for mounting interfaces, hole patterns and associated cable and power supply locations. That means you can select from a wide range of third-party ergonomic mounting solutions. The space-saving benefits of an Apple display just got better.
How do you see your computer? Every detail of your display makes a difference. No matter which Apple display you choose to accompany your Power Mac or PowerBook, you’ll enjoy a quality experience designed especially for professionals who appreciate stunning visuals.
Widescreen Gives You More Time
Mac OS X provides the stability you need to run multiple applications at the same time - and Apple displays offer you the space to navigate among them effortlessly. So you can view a Photoshop file with dozens of layers open. Or stretch out temporal data, such as timelines in Final Cut Pro or a Logic Pro music arrangement, as you work on a particular effect. And by keeping email and iChat windows always visible, you can collaborate with your colleagues every step of the way.
Best Resolution for Images and Words
The quality of the pixels you see impacts how you use your computer. After years of experience, Apple engineers have discovered the ideal resolution to display both sharp text and high-resolution graphics. Other vendors may offer a larger monitor, but with less resolution, so you end up with fewer pixels. Or a smaller monitor with very high resolution may cause eyestrain and headaches. Apple Cinema Displays are optimized for images, yet they allow you to work easily with text in email, web browsers and word processors, as well as sophisticated type treatments in layouts.
Responsive Feedback
Pixel response time provides a good measure of a display’s performance in media-critical applications, such as video, 3D and motion graphics, or even when you’re taking a break with a game. An Apple display provides fast pixel response across the entire spectrum from black and white to every shade of gray.
Flat Out Winner
Of course, with an Apple Display, you gain all the benefits of LCD technology. Compared with a cathode ray tube (CRT), you’ll get about twice the brightness, sharpness and contrast - with flicker-free performance and the same full gamut of colors. Resistant to environmental factors (such as heat, humidity and electromagnetic fields) that affect the visual performance of CRTs, an LCD display is a better choice for color applications. And the thin form factor makes adjustments effortless and moving hassle-free.
Apple displays are a perfect companion for your Power Mac G5. And now it’s even easier to use one as a second display for your PowerBook - or even for a PC. Using a pure digital signal over an industry-standard DVI connector, Apple flat-panel displays deliver the maximum visual quality possible.
Pure Signal
When you need to manipulate color in any medium, image distortion is not an option. As you move to monitors with higher resolutions or longer cables, analog conversion problems caused by a VGA connection become progressively worse. These issues fade away with an all-digital signal. DVI transmits a digital signal from a digital location in the graphics card to a digital location on the display screen. So you get the full clarity and stability of liquid crystal technology - with sharp, clear pixels.
Lose Controls
With a VGA connection, you have to futz with controls for power, brightness and contrast, fine tracking and coarse tracking, white and black balance controls, as well as horizontal and vertical positions. Not so on an Apple display. Tucked away on the side are the only controls you really need: brightness and power. So you can save your control-freak tendencies for where they really matter - your work.
With Apple technology, you don’t have to make a choice between the bottom line and the environment. When you upgrade to a flat-panel LCD display, you not only gain many functional benefits over standard CRT monitors, but you also help reduce the environmental impact of computing.
Lower the Bottom Line
You’ll save money with an Apple flat-panel display. A 20-inch Cinema Display consumes about two thirds the power of a 21-inch CRT designed for color professionals. To put that in perspective: If your power costs $0.15 per kWh, the new display would save about $40 a year in normal business operation. That’s $400 for a studio of 10 computers, and $4000 a year for a workplace of 100. And that doesn’t even factor in the higher HVAC costs of 100 CRTs in a confined space - as a CRT generates up to three times the heat of a flat panel.*
Raise the Bar
It’s not just about saving money. When you choose items that consume less electricity, power plants don’t burn through as much fossil fuels - which means they emit fewer greenhouse gases. Even better, building an LCD display uses less materials than building a CRT, so more raw materials will be around for your grandchildren. And since they don’t need enormous boxes, flat panels also reduce the cost of packaging and shipping. All of this helps to reduce our dependence on oil.
