Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed especially with the Mac G4 in mind, the Apple 21-inch Cinema Display is a new standard-bearer for both design and technology. Dragging your desktop into the new millennium, its nearly invisible frame blends into any décor, while providing that necessary touch of cutting-edge style.
Graphic precision far exceeds the norm, with a maximum resolution of 1,600 x 1,024, a 300:1 contrast ratio, and over 16 million colors. Truly digital video signals further improve picture quality and help provide the most accurate possible color.
The true-size 21-inch flat viewing screen provides a 16:10 viewing ratio ideal for working with professional video, and also allows you to display two full-size text pages at once. Whether you plan on using this monitor professionally or just gaming to your heart's content, you won't find a more impressive show.
A two-port USB hub supports Apple speakers, while the proprietary display connector handles digital video, USB, and power (users of non-G4s will require an adapter). Weighing just 25 pounds, it supplies twice the screen size for less than half the total weight of an older CRT model. The manufacturer includes a one-year warranty that covers parts and service.
From the Manufacturer
Apple's 22-inch flat-panel Cinema Display monitor combines a pure digital interface with the industry's best active-matrix LCD panel to deliver images with superior brightness, sharpness, and contrast. The Apple Cinema Display offers stellar image clarity and sharpness. Its all-digital interface supports 1,600 x 1,024 pixels that are bright, sharp, and distortion free. This display also provides the best viewing angles available for a flat-panel display its size--up to 160 degrees horizontally and vertically. The special wide screen has an aspect ratio of 16:10, making it perfect for those working with full-motion video and video editing.
The display supports true 8-bit RGB color. As a result, it produces up to 16.7 million colors that are better saturated than those of other flat-panel displays. Designed to work with the new Power Mac G4 and the Power Mac G4 Cube, it has a simple quick-latch connection and requires no power cord. It has a built-in two-port USB hub for easy connection to other desktop devices like Apple Pro speakers.

Best monitor in the world,
By
This review is from: Apple 22" Cinema Display (Acrylic Bezel) (Personal Computers)
The Apple Cinema Display is, quite simply, the best monitor in the world.Like all LCD monitors, the 22 inch diagonal measurement of the Apple Cinema Display is a measurement of viewable area. Add a couple of inches to this measurement to get an equivalent CRT monitor size, since CRT measurements include an inch or so of black around the edges. This is a huge amount of space - enough to display two full 8.5x11 inch pages side by side, including margins, and still have an inch left over around the edges. In addition, LCDs, at their native resolutions, are significantly sharper than CRTs. As a result, I find that an LCD screen feels as big as a CRT that is half again as large. Apple's LCD monitors are all digital, unlike many LCDs on the market, which take an analog signal from the computer (intended for a CRT display) and convert it to digital. As a result, Apple's LCDs have no flicker - important for people like me who are sensitive to flicker and subject to migraines. Picture quality is also improved over analog driven LCD displays. Apple's current LCD desktop monitors, including the Cinema Display, also eliminate the disadvantages of earlier generation LCDs. The color is much better than older LCDs - suitable even for print prepress, which LCDs used to be useless for - and the Cinema Display is twice as bright as a CRT display. Don't be misled by notebook flat panels - they have power consumption limitations that Apple's desktop LCDs don't have! One note: the Cinema display uses Apple's proprietary Apple Display Connector. This is very convenient if you have a current or recent G4 Mac; if you have an older Mac or other machine, you'll need to buy a third party adapter. If you work in front of a computer and ever feel like you need more screen space, I can't recommend the Apple Cinema Display too highly. I own two - one for work and one for home.

The most amazing display on earth...,

This review is from: Apple 22" Cinema Display (Acrylic Bezel) (Personal Computers)
I have had the Apple Cinema Display since around the time it came out. (Yes, I paid [a lot] for it!) And to be honest, I would pay it again because this is truly the best display on the market. I use both a MAC and PC in my profession (Designer) and am very dissapointed that an equivalent hasn't been made available for the PC.The crispness, quality, color, and size cannot be matched by any product currently available. It's a beautiful piece of technology and goregous to look at, at any angle. It's even sexy from the back! I highly recommend this display if you design on a Mac. There is simply nothing better...!

The finest display on Earth,
This review is from: Apple 22" Cinema Display (Acrylic Bezel) (Personal Computers)
Use one of these, and all other displays are revealed to be a cruel joke. I have had a for 9 months, and I am never going back. The single ADC cable and connector provides data, power, and USB ports to the display. The enormous display supports multi-page photo and layout editing, and the video output from a DVD in letterbox format will take your breath away. This is a video display that can change your life, it has changed mine.
