This article describes the Apple Cinema Display.

The Apple Cinema Display brings an entirely new visual perspective to the desktop computing experience. With an enormous virtual workspace, elegant industrial design, and industry-leading all-digital LCD technology, it's perfect for those who have been waiting to own the highest-performance LCD flat-panel display available. And the combination of the powerful Apple Power Mac G4 computer with the many unique features of the Apple Cinema Display makes this the ideal solution for creative professionals.

If you work with large, unwieldy page layouts, manipulate complex 3D models, or edit QuickTime movies, this display is made for you. Its unique wide format and high-resolution 22-inch (diagonal) screen provide an incredibly large work area. You can display DVD movies in their native HDTV format without the annoying letterbox, making the display a perfect companion for use with Apple's DVD player or Final Cut Pro software. And even with two full pages of text and graphics displayed on screen simultaneously, there's still plenty of room for tear-off menus, palettes, and tool bars. With all this extra space to work, you'll spend a lot less time scrolling or toggling between windows.

Those who work in graphics-intensive professions will appreciate the Apple Cinema Display's technical innovations. Using a pure digital interface, it delivers distortion-free images every time. The display supports a true 16.7 million colors and uses the latest wide-angle viewing technology to ensure that colors appear consistently and uniformly, from edge to edge. All of this behind-the-scenes technology makes the Apple Cinema Display easy on your eyes, day in and day out-something you'll appreciate next time you're burning the midnight oil.

Although its virtual workspace is enormous, the Apple Cinema Display takes up only a small part of your physical desktop-and quite attractively, at that. Its elegantly streamlined industrial design includes many built-in conveniences, such as a two-port self-powered USB hub that makes it easy to connect USB devices such as your keyboard or other peripherals. A patented hinge design lets you effortlessly adjust the screen to your preferred viewing angle, and a handy one-button switch lets you turn on the display and the Power Mac G4 at the same time-or put your system to sleep and awaken it at a touch.

The Apple Cinema Display-you'll never look at your work the same way again.
