Apple HD Cinema Display

The Apple Cinema HD is a stunning, all-digital, 30-inch flat panel display with a 2560-by-1600-pixel resolution. It’s compatible with Mac computers with a DVI port and Mac computers with Mini DisplayPort using the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.

The 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display delivers an amazing 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution. Designed specifically for the creative professional, this display provides more space for easier access to all the tools and palettes needed to edit, format and composite your work.

The Cinema HD is designed with a pure digital interface to deliver distortion-free images that never need adjusting. With over 4 million digital pixels, the display is ideal for reviewing multiple images side by side in Aperture — or just one, full screen and large as life. Work in Photoshop with room to see all the layers in your palette. Take in the whole timeline in Final Cut Pro. Or peer into four different modes of a molecule visualization with subatomic detail.

Offering accurate, brilliant color performance, the Cinema HD delivers a wide gamut allowing you to see subtle nuances between colors from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. A wide viewing angle ensures uniform color from edge to edge. Apple's ColorSync technology allows you to create custom profiles to maintain consistent color onscreen and in print.

Housed in an aluminum enclosure, the display has a thin bezel that enhances visual accuracy. Each display features two FireWire 400 ports and two USB 2.0 ports, making attachment of desktop peripherals — such as iPod, iPhone, digital and still cameras, hard drives, printers and scanners — even more accessible and convenient. Customers with the optional Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter kit gain the flexibility to mount their display in locations most appropriate for their work environment.

The Cinema HD features a single cable design with elegant breakout for the USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and a pure digital connection using the industry standard Digital Video Interface (DVI) interface. The DVI connection allows for a direct pure-digital connection.
