    From the Manufacturer
    Feast your eyes on 1,680 x 1,050 pixels of the 20-inch Apple Cinema Display. The Apple Cinema Display line features a gorgeous new anodized aluminum enclosure to complement the Power Mac G5 or PowerBook G4.

    Eliminate Tunnel Vision
    The widescreen design of the Apple Cinema Display line offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them—longer wide than high. That's why each display gives you the best view for your work. It just makes sense to be able to display a Web page and its code next to each other horizontally, or long video timelines in wide format. Apple engineers find that the nearly 100-pixel per inch resolution is ideal for images, yet allows you to easily work with sophisticated type treatments or just plain email. This painstaking attention to detail moves the industry forward and gives you best LCD technology available.

    Enjoy One or Two Artful Displays
    The Apple Cinema display matches the sculpted aluminum enclosures of the Power Mac G5 and PowerBook. This strong, anodized aluminum also allows for an exceptionally narrow bezel, so you can use multiple displays together seamlessly. The Cinema Display hovers above your desk on a curvaceous stand, and hardly requires any pressure to adjust the viewing angle from -5 to 25 degrees, since the enclosure is the lightest Apple display ever, at each size. And some ineffable quality of pure elemental aluminum just feels better to the touch.

    Connect with Pure Digital DVI
    Give your PowerBook G4 a second display when you're not on the road. Connect directly to any PowerBook G4 with a DVI port. The DVI connection removes all barriers to using an Apple display with a PC, if your graphics card supports DVI with DDC technology for widescreen viewing.

    Adjust your Apple display from -5° to 25° with little effort.

     

    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 you view the display at whatever angle works for your environment, anywhere from -5° to 25°.

    Pure Signal
    When you need to manipulate color in any media, image distortion is simply not an option. Analog conversion problems caused by a VGA connection become progressively worse as you move to monitors that have higher resolutions or longer monitor cables. These issues fade away with an all digital signal. DVI transmits a distortion-free digital signal from a digital location in the graphics card to a digital location on the display’s screen. This digital connection gives you the full clarity and stability of liquid crystal technology — with sharp, clear pixels from edge to edge.

    Responsive Feedback
    Pixel response time provides a good measure of a display’s performance in media critical applications, such as video, 3D and motion graphics, or even when you’re taking a break with a game. An Apple display provides fast pixel response time across the entire spectrum from black and white, to every shade of gray.


    Peripheral Devices on Your Desktop
    This display includes a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports. So you can connect a printer or scanner, or a digital camera or camcorder. The FireWire port provides a convenient place to plug in an iSight camera for video chat, presented beautifully on your Apple display, or to connect your iPod dock. You can also make best use of all the latest USB 2.0 devices, whether you're using your display with a Mac or PC.

    This display includes two USB 2.0, and two FireWire 400 ports 5
    This display is probably the only one that includes two-port, self-powered USB 2.0 hub, two FireWire 400 ports and a Kensington security.

    Obviously if you are editing images, and using an inferior monitor, mistakes in the settings will show up down the line.

    The brightness value is ten to one of any laptop.
    For comparison, set the laptop to full brightness.
    Now set the monitor to lowest setting.
    The monitor will still be twice as bright.

    I have this 20" and 23".
    I use the 20" on the PowerBook, and the 23" with the MacPro Tower.

    Cable Management/
    This monitor just does it all.
    With the rear ports taking care of all other component devices, there is no longer the nonsense of cables getting into view or in your way.

    The lead from the Cinema Display is ganged with all 3 cables as one that attaches to your computer.

    You show up with the laptop, plug in the monitors leads, and now everything from the Bose sound system, printers, Firewire card reader, and PDA, cell phone are all connected.

    Lets see any other screen do that.
    But it even gets better.

    With the wireless keyboard, you have complete control over screen's brightness, or flash between screens using 'Spaces' feature.

    This allows having two to four totally different screens as one.
    I can have video conversion going on with all that's necessary on one screen, and browsing the internet on the other screen, or in another screen doing my photo editing, or watching a movie in the other screen.

    The simple 'Option/Arrow' toggles through them.

    I sure hope someone can come up with just one sample of screen that can out feature these. And I'll buy it.

    IT's Not about the Money, because at the time, when these were new, $900 was average out the door.

    As of to date, the 20" is no longer being made.
    So check details at Apple before jumping in.

    Apple's best valued display4
    After deciding not to splurge the $900 for the new 24" display, I decided to purchase this existing 20" display and pair it w/ my mbp. I personally prefer the solid aluminum styling over the black bezzeled frame. I know Apple is eventually replacing this monitor, however, after test driving the 24", I visually didn't see a difference between the 2 displays. Furthermore, the review on this display has been satisfactory at best, and for $900, I need a display with a solid reputation. It would have been nice for Apple to update this display during the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2008. 1680 x 1050 display resolution could be a bit higher at this price, then again, very few displays compare with this one. Highly recommend to pair w/ current or previous gen mbp.

    Great Mac-like monitor5
    I have purchased two of these and have not had a single problem from them. It is a beautiful monitor and rock solid in operation. Some of you might think it is expensive (and compared to others currently offered, it probably is), but if you already paid a lot of bucks for a mac you don't want a less than perfect monitor working along with it. You're going to be looking at it all day so you may as well get the coolest one you can find, and in my opinion, this is it. Expensive? Maybe. But in every other way, its about as perfect a product as you will find. ** One note - although it doesn't matter to me, the monitor uses a power brick which makes the power cable a little bulky. I just stuff it all behind the desk so no big deal but it could be to you.
