This article contains a description of the Apple Studio Display (15" LCD).

When it comes to on-screen image quality, the Thin Film Transistor Active-Matrix LCD technology used by the Apple Studio Display enables it to offer outstanding brightness, contrast ratio, and sharpness, the factors that combine to provide optimal viewing. It also provides you with an impressively wide (120 degree - horizontal) viewing angle, as well as completely eliminating screen flicker (which many people find not only eliminates eyestrain but also significantly increases their productivity). And, of course, there is that key advantage in terms of work-space efficiency: The Apple Studio Display offers all of this performance in a product that is a fraction the size of a traditional computer monitor.

Probably the most distinguishing feature of this display, though, is the advantage it takes of Apple's outstanding hardware/software integration. In the case of the Apple Studio Display, what this enables is an unmatched combination of "smart features" and superior software controls, which adds up to an extraordinarily flexible, responsive device with which to view your work.

In fact, the Apple Studio Display can help you handle virtually any task efficiently and effectively, making that eight hours per day you spend in front of your computer significantly more productive and surprisingly more pleasant. If you deal primarily with graphics, you will be glad to know that the Apple Studio Display requires no special graphics adapter. If you deal more with multimedia, you will appreciate its built-in connectors for both composite and S-video as well as audio input. And if, like many creative professionals today, what you deal with most frequently is a combination, you will find the Apple Studio Display's ability to shift instantly between graphics and video modes invaluable.

The Apple Studio Display, because when you look at all of its high-performance capabilities, you'll really like what you see.
