This article describes the Apple Macintosh 21-inch Color Display, which Apple discontinued on 14 March 1994, replacing it with the Apple Multiple Scan 20 Display.
DISCUSSION The Apple Macintosh 21-inch Color Display lets you work with two full pages of text and graphics in color. The unit design allows large-screen color display for presentations, page layouts, engineering design, and video applications. The 21-inch screen provides more than three times the screen area of standard displays, and features high levels of brightness and contrast. The anti-glare screen minimizes reflective glare, and the tilt and swivel base allows for working-angle adjustments. The built-in video on the Quadra 700 and 900 supports the display in 16 and 256 colors, respectively. It's equipped with an auto-degaussing circuit to ensure consistent color purity and distortion-free images. The display contains three Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) connectors on the display front to allow direct connection of a keyboard, mouse, or other ADB device. This unit is compatible with newer operating systems, such as Macintosh system software version 7.0 and A/UX. The display is also well-suited for preparation of video and animation presentations to use with television monitors or videocassette recorders. The Macintosh 21-inch Color Display supports as many colors as the video circuitry allows. For example, you can access 256 colors simultaneously from a palette of more than 16 million colors, using a Macintosh Display Card 8*24 or 8*24GC. |
