Ultimate Accessory for New Line of MacBooks, LED Cinema Display
Apple today unveiled the 24-inch widescreen display with 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution and LED-backlit technology to provide instant brightness and better power efficiency. This is the first display made precisely for Apple’s line of MacBooks.
The new display also includes a built-in universal MagSafe charger and three self-powered USB 2.0 ports so users can simply leave their printer, camera, iPhone 3G or iPod dock connected when they take their MacBook with them.
“The new LED Cinema Display is the most advanced display that Apple has ever made,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “It is a perfect fit for our sleek new line of aluminum MacBooks with its 24-inch LED-backlit screen, aluminum and glass enclosure, integrated camera, mic and speakers, MagSafe charger, three USB ports and Mini DisplayPort.”
Apple said that new LED Cinema Display is the greenest Apple display ever, made with mercury-free LED technology, arsenic-free glass and highly recyclable materials. The LED Cinema Display meets Energy Star 4.0 requirements and achieves EPEAT Gold status. Most importantly, it does not contain brominated flame retardants and all internal cables and components are PVC-free. Its foam packaging has also been reduced by 44 percent.
The Mini DisplayPort is ultra-compact at just 10 percent the size of a full DVI connector and can drive up to a 30-inch widescreen display. Adapters are available for using the MacBook’s Mini DisplayPort with older generation VGA, DVI/HDMI and Dual-Link DVI displays.
The new LED Cinema Display will be available in November through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $899 (US). The LED Cinema Display requires a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro with the new Mini DisplayPort.
