New Family of Widescreen Displays for Power Mac, PowerBook & PCs
WWDC 2004, SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today
unveiled a new family of widescreen flat panel displays featuring the 30-inch
Apple Cinema HD display, a professional-quality, wide-format active-matrix LCD
with 2560-by-1600 pixel resolution -- the largest high resolution display ever
created. Rounding out the new lineup are new 23-inch and 20-inch Cinema
Displays, offering creative professionals and prosumers the highest quality
flat panel displays in the industry. The new displays feature dual FireWire(R)
and dual USB 2.0 ports built into the display and use the industry standard
DVI interface for a pure digital connection with Apple's latest Power Mac(R)
and PowerBook(R) systems, as well as PCs with a DVI connector. Two 30-inch
Cinema Displays can be driven simultaneously from Apple's new Power Mac line
of desktop workstations, offering professional users a desktop of 8 million
pixels.
"Our gorgeous new 30-inch Cinema Display is the largest desktop canvas
ever created, and you can even run two of them side-by-side to get 8 million
jaw-dropping pixels," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Apple's Cinema Displays
have always set the bar for the industry's highest quality displays, and our
new 30-inch display is a giant leap forward for our pro customers."
The new Apple Cinema Displays feature an all new aluminum design with a
very thin bezel, suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that
makes tilting the display almost effortless. Each Cinema Display features two
FireWire 400 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, making attachment of desktop
peripherals, such as a keyboard, mouse, iPod(R), iSight(TM), digital and still
camera, hard drive, printer and scanner, even more accessible and convenient.
The new displays support the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
mounting interface standard. Customers with the optional Cinema Display VESA
Mount Adapter kit can mount their display in locations most appropriate for
their work environment.
Apple's new family of displays offers the widescreen design (16:10 ratio)
coveted by creative professionals who want access to more horizontal
workspace. The Apple Cinema HD 30-inch display has an unbelievable
2560-by-1600 pixel resolution and the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD display has a
1920-by-1200 pixel resolution, both capable of displaying High Definition
Television (HDTV) content with room to spare. The new 20-inch Apple Cinema
Display(R) professional-quality flat panel offers a 1680-by-1050 pixel
resolution, more than enough room to edit images with all of the palettes
on-screen.
Perfect for creative customers in demanding color environments, Apple flat
panel displays provide maximum color quality using the industry's best
wide-viewing angle technology of up to 170 degrees even when viewing images
off-axis. With a broad color gamut that stays consistent edge-to-edge, Apple
flat panel displays have been certified by SWOP Incorporated as part of the
ICS Remote Director product, the first display-based proofing system created
to approve jobs for press production on-screen without the need for hard-copy
proofs-an innovation that can result in significant time and cost savings for
print professionals.
The 20-inch Cinema Display and the 23-inch Cinema HD Display are designed
to work with DVI equipped Power Macs, PowerBooks and Windows-based computers.
The advanced design of Apple's breakthrough 30-inch Cinema HD Display requires
the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL graphics card and a Power
Mac G5 professional desktop. Providing the most advanced graphics architecture
available, the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL graphics card offers the latest
graphics programmability for on-screen cinematic realism and an astounding
bandwidth throughput of up to 35.2 GB/sec to support incredibly high pixel
fill rates of 6.4 billion texels a second. The first card to provide support
for two high resolution dual link interfaces, the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra
DDL graphics card provides two DVI connectors so that two 30-inch Cinema HD
Displays can be used with the Power Mac G5 desktop, resulting in an
unprecedented amount of screen workspace.
