Feast your eyes on more than four million pixels in the first high-resolution 30-inch flat-panel display designed for a personal computer. The Apple Cinema Display features an anodized aluminum enclosure that looks smart with your Power Mac G5, PowerBook G4, or MacBook Pro. The state of the art starts at $799.

See the Forest and the Trees

The 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display gives you the space you need to visualize your entire creation — yet provides the resolution necessary to edit in place. With 77 percent more screen real estate, you can lay out a two-page spread and edit text without squinting. Work in Photoshop with more than 30 layers in a palette. Take in the whole timeline in Final Cut Pro. Display 126 Logic Pro mixer controls simultaneously. Or peer into four different modes of a molecule visualization with subatomic detail. This colossal advancement in innovation is yours for just $2499.

Eliminate Tunnel Vision

The widescreen design of Apple Cinema Displays offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them: side-by-side and left to right. It just makes sense to view a web page and its code next to it — or a long video timeline in wide format. (In fact, the 23-inch Cinema HD Display, at $1299, provides the exact resolution to display widescreen HD material.) The format and resolution of each display is optimized for viewing high-resolution images, sophisticated type treatments or just plain email.

Enjoy One or Two Artful Displays

Each display is designed to match the sculpted aluminum enclosures of the Power Mac G5, PowerBook G4, and MacBook Pro. 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. The Cinema Display hovers above your desk on a curvaceous stand, and — since it’s the lightest Apple display ever — a light touch can adjust the viewing angle from -5° to 25°.

16-Lane PCI Express on Every New Power Mac G5

With an all PCI Express architecture, the new Power Mac G5 supports a lineup of state-of-the-art graphics cards to ensure a spectacular visual experience. Every Power Mac G5 supports two displays — including one 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display — and can be expanded to drive an array of up to eight displays. Choose a standard configuration equipped with a card for general graphics applications. Or for ultraresponsive visuals, you can upgrade to a high-performance card, such as the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500. The first workstation graphics card for the Mac platform, the Quadro FX 4500 supports two 30-inch displays for the ultimate in creative freedom.⁽¹⁾

A Desktop for Your Laptop

Bring your MacBook Pro or PowerBook G4 home to a big, bright Apple Cinema Display for the perfect combination of portability and presence. All new Apple notebooks connect to the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display or 20-inch Apple Cinema Display. And with dual-link DVI support and 128MB of graphics memory, every MacBook Pro or new 15-inch or 17-inch PowerBook G4 supports the massive 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display, giving your portable computer a dramatic desktop canvas.⁽²⁾

Peripheral Devices on Your Desktop

Every Apple display has a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports. Use the FireWire ports for connecting high-performance devices like digital cameras, and camcorders. And whether you’re using your display with a Mac or a PC, you can make best use of all the latest USB 2.0 devices, including iPods and industry-standard printers and scanners.

1. The NVIDIA card occupies the AGP slot and adjacent PCI slot; all ATI cards occupy the AGP slot only.
2. 30-inch Apple Cinema Display compatible only with the 17-inch PowerBook G4 and the 1.67GHz 15-inch PowerBook G4 with 128MB of graphics memory and dual-link DVI functionality — or with any MacBook Pro.

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, PowerBook G4, and MacBook Pro. 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.

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, MacBook Pro, or new iMac — 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.
