The Apple Cinema Display is a product line of widescreen flat panel monitors made by Apple Inc.. Older models ran DVI, USB, and 25V power all through a single ADC connector. Current models use ordinary DVI, for better compatibility. Older models came in high density plastic frames with an easel-style stand. Newer models have an aluminum stand whose design is the same as the Core 2 Duo iMac's stand, and whose color matches the Mac Pro and MacBook Pro computers. They come in 20-, 23-, and 30-inch models. While designed to match Apple computers, the displays are also compatible with other personal computers (Such as those manufactured by Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, and Hewlett-Packard) that are equipped with the appropriate video card. The 30-inch Cinema HD Displays plug is Dual Link DVI, which requires a dual link DVI connection to be driven. Currently LG-Philips produces the LCD panel for the Apple Cinema Displays.

Criticism

While they are favored by graphics designers and Mac fans, the monitors have attracted some criticism due to their relatively high prices. One of the first notable examples is the comparison of the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW with the simliarly configured 20-inch Apple Cinema Display of the 2004 generation of Cinema Displays. Both displays use the same LG.Philips LCD display[1]. At the release of the 2005 series of Dell LCD monitors, the Dell 2005FPW was the first widescreen monitor available retail at under 1000USD at the price point of 799USD while the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display stood at over 1200USD. As of April 2007, the 20-inch Cinema Display was selling for $599 (US) on Apple's web site. In contrast, the Dell 2007WFP (a competing 20-inch widescreen LCD monitor) was selling for $399 during that time. Dell sells LCD-based and CRT-based computer monitors. ...
