Apple is finally ready to take your money in exchange for the 27-inch LED Cinema Display. The 2560 x 1440 monitor was announced way back in July and is now listed as shipping within 1 to 2 weeks for $999. There wasn’t any sort of delay, September was the target all along.
The high-end monitor scene saw some new players this summer. Apple wasn’t the only manufacturer to out an expensive monitor. It’s a good time to have access to your company’s expense account. → Read More
As you may have heard by now, Apple unveiled a whole range on new products today from new iMacs to new Mac Pros to a new Magic Trackpad product. Alongside those, Apple also unveiled a new 27-inch LED Cinema Display. I talked with Apple a bit this morning about the new products, and one thing that may not have been clear about the new monitor is that it will actually be the only one Apple offers going forward. Again, just this one 27-inch display.
Apple is discontinuing both the 24-inch LED Cinema Display as well as the older 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays they had been selling. When asked why, an Apple representative said this new 27-inch version was seen as “ideal for the uses we see most people having.” It was also noted that the 27-inch model features 60 percent more pixels than the 24-inch one, and because of its 16×9 ratio, it actually has the same number of pixels horizontally (2560) as the older 30-inch model (though slightly less vertically: 1600 versus 1440). → Read More
Everybody panic! Apple has pulled their 20-inch Cinema displays from the Apple Store and have labeled them “end of life’d” to resellers. What could it mean?! Are new ones on the way? Is there going to be a special event for a new Cinema display?! OMG. What are we going to do?! → Read More
Apple’s 24-inch LED Cinema Display now doubles as a touchscreen, thanks to Troll Touch. You put a little slip over the screen, and then plug the slip into a USB port. Voilà, you’ve got a touchscreen LED Cinema Display! → Read More
It’s been a while (10/14/08) since Apple first announced the next version of the Cinema Display but with the display now shipping, unboxing pics have surfaced. The LED-powered display looks just like it did when we first peeped it way back on October 14. The display hasn’t revealed any unannounced features but the lack of a power brick is a welcomed surprise. AppleInsider also notes that the pixels aren’t arranged in the iMac’s side-by-side layout but rather employs a diagonal pattern that’s visible when viewed closely. Overall though, it seems like it’s lived up to the Cinema Display pedigree. Full reviews are sure to roll in shortly. → Read More
The fancy LED Apple display is shipping now. Right now it only works when connected to a MacBook or MacBook Pro or MacBook Air as a result of it using the new mini DisplayPort interface. Ars has one of those “unboxing” deals that the kids love so much these days, alongside its first impressions of the device. Apple wants $899 for the display, which is just shy of Absolutely Insane for a 24-inch monitor. via Cult of Mac → Read More
The 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display should be out any day now—Apple lists “November” as its release date—but at what cost? Well, at the cost of the 23-inch Cinema Display, which has been discontinued. Note that that 20- and 30-inch models are still on sale at Apple’s Web site, so all is not lost for those of you who detest glossy displays. (The new LED display comes only with a glossy finish; matte is dying.) Meanwhile, you can still find refurbished 23-inch Cinema Displays for $749 online. Get a good one. via Ars Technica → Read More
You’re looking at the Elzo FlexScan S2432W-H, a 24-inch monitor that comes out in Japan next month. Crazy, right? Maybe. The monitor is one of the first post-MacBook monitors to have a DisplayPort port. (Dell and HP released DisplayPort monitors earlier this year, mind you.) The WUXGA (that’s 1920×1200 pixels) resolution monitor will cost around $940, which is about $40 more than what Apple wants for its own 24-own Cinema Display. → Read More
It doesn’t take a rock scientist to figure out that the Cinema Displays are due for a refresh in the near future since no major modifications have been made since their debut in 2004. MacRumors is hinting that they’ve heard Apple will refresh the line with LED-backlighting at Macworld next January. That’s too far away to even think about right now. → Read More
With the announcement of the expensive 8-core Mac Pro, Apple must have figured it needed a little spin to keep customers’ minds off of the high price. Now the Apple Cinema Displays have been given a price cut to make us feel all warm inside. You’ll now be able to snag a 20-inch Cinema Display for $599, a 23-incher for $899, and the grand ol’ 30-inch behemoth for a mere $1799, down $200 from the previous price of $1999. If you’re going to buy one of those new Mac Pros, might as well go all out and pick up a discounted display while you’re at it. Product Page [Apple] → Read More
