The Cinema HD...

The 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display delivers an amazing 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution. Designed specifically for the creative professional, this display provides more space for easier access to all the tools and palettes needed to edit, format and composite your work. Combine this display with a PowerMac G5 and there's no limit to what you can achieve.

The Cinema HD features an active-matrix liquid crystal display that produces flicker-free images that deliver twice the brightness, twice the sharpness and twice the contrast ratio of a typical CRT display. Unlike other flat panels, it's designed with a pure digital interface to deliver distortion-free images that never need adjusting. With over 4 million digital pixels, the display is uniquely suited for scientific and technical applications such as visualizing molecular structures or analyzing geological data.

Offering accurate, brilliant color performance, the Cinema HD delivers up to 16.7 million colors across a wide gamut allowing you to see subtle nuances between colors from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. A wide viewing angle ensures uniform color from edge to edge. Apple's ColorSync technology allows you to create custom profiles to maintain consistent color onscreen and in print. The result: You can confidently use this display in all your color-critical applications.

Housed in a new aluminum design, the display has a very thin bezel that enhances visual accuracy. Each display features two FireWire 400 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, making attachment of desktop peripherals, such as iSight, iPod, digital and still cameras, hard drives, printers and scanners, even more accessible and convenient. Taking advantage of the much thinner and lighter footprint of an LCD, the new displays support the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) mounting interface standard. Customers with the optional Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter kit gain the flexibility to mount their display in locations most appropriate for their work environment.

The Cinema HD features a single cable design with elegant breakout for the USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and a pure digital connection using the industry standard Digital Video Interface (DVI) interface. The DVI connection allows for a direct pure-digital connection to Apple's latest aluminum Power Mac and PowerBook systems, as well as to Windows-based desktops.

    Apple Cinema HD Display Monitor

    By corleone_0110  Oct 15, 2006 | 1 out of 1 found this Apple Cinema HD Display review helpful

    Pros: Beautiful image quality, stunning design, PC-compatible, integrated USB and FireWire ports

    Cons: A bit pricey, limited adjustability options, no home entertainment video inputs

    Apple's latest line of Cinema HD Displays (available in 20in., 23in. and 30in. models) ushers in a renewed spirit of cross-platform cooperation. Thanks to a DVI connector on every Cinema HD Display, PC users can now enjoy the fabulous design and ...stunning image quality that Apple aficionados have been luxuriating in since the iMac. The 23in. Cinema HD Display, in particular, is a looker. It's so lovely that we're willing to forgive its high price (£1,318.30 ex. VAT, or £1,549 inc. VAT), limited adjustability and lack of video inputs. In fact, hooking it up to a comparatively hideous Intel-based PC feels like such a crime that we're beginning to suspect an ulterior motive on Apple's part. Read more Less

    Just Simply Amazing

    By pimp_hattey2  Oct 10, 2005 | 1 out of 1 found this Apple Cinema HD Display review helpful

    Pros: Exceptional clarity, even color, strong backlight

    Cons: price, power brick

    I love this monitor. The ergonomics make it easy to look at, take up a minimal amount of desk space, and it is just a crystal clear display. The usb and firewire ports on the back are very uselful especially for my iSight that is perched on a magneti...c stand atop the monster display. the only thing i really dont like about this display is that you have a powerbrick you have to have near the display do to a short cable (the end of the cable branches to USB, firewire, and the powerbrick connector.) if i was put in the situation of buying it again or not, i would defenitly buy this one again. infact, if i ever have another 2500 laying around... i will be adding a second 30, and making my powermac a dual display masterpiece.

    "Apple Cinema HD Display - flat panel display - TFT - 30"""

    The Apple 23-inch Cinema Display is low on extras and high on price. Still, one look at this gorgeous LCD, and you'll kiss your practicality good-bye. Read more

  • PC Magazine

    Apple Cinema HD (30 inches)

    Attractive from a distance, the Apple Cinema HD 30-inch display turns out to have feet of clay on closer inspection. It is indeed an expansive and impressive LCD monitor, but its limitations cause it to fall short of the superlative claims made by Apple. It may well be good enough for your needs, but make sure you buy it with your eyes open. Read more
