Apple Announces Cinema Display to Complement New MacBooks
Posted 10/14/2008 at 2:29:12pm | by Zack Stern

Together at last.

Apple has announced an $899, 24-inch display that will launch in November built just for the new laptops. The LED-backlit display will only include a hardwired Mini DisplayPort cable, versus DVI or other connectors. Apple doesn't plan to offer an adapter, but the company says that third-parties could make a bridge for other laptops and the MacPro.

The 1,900 x 1,200-pixel Cinema display will also include a MagSafe cable to power a laptop, plus a USB 2.0 cable to route devices through its three-port hub. Built-in stereo speakers, a microphone, and iSight camera will round out its features.

avatarJust Another Anti-Glossy Post...

Submitted by Ben on Tue, 2008-10-14 18:27

I am a bit unhappy to see that Apple is doing away with matte screens.

I own a aluminum iMac, and I had to weigh the following situation:

Suffer on a four-year old iBook G4 while saving for another year to afford a Mac Pro, or buy an aluminum iMac now.

I chose the latter, and I am pretty happy with my decision, even though I despise glossy screens with a passion. My desk is in the finished half of my basement, and even at that location in my house, I can often see myself in the screen [due to the white walls and subtle amounts of sunlight coming in through the windows, sometimes even the TV that someone is watching behind me].

I literally stared at myself in disbelief while watching the keynote... [lame pun]

I've found that glossy screens just make it harder to work with images/video that has darker/black content in them.
