Pixels! Get Your Red Hot Pixels! New 27-inch Apple Display Unveiled
Apple has announced an brand new, 27-inch version of its popular LED Cinema Display. The 27-inch Cinema Display will replace the older 24-inch model when it goes on sale in September. The 24-inch Cinema Display is now on $100 off, on sale for $799.99.
The new 27-inch LED Cinema Display has a stunning 2560 × 1440 resolution and 60 percent more screen real estate than the 24-inch model. The new Cinema Display has a 16×9 edge-to-edge glass display with vivid colors and exceptionally high contrast. It uses a premium display technology called in-plane switching (IPS) to provide a brilliant image across an ultra wide 178 degree viewing angle.
Designed as a companion for any Mac notebook or desktop, the 27-inch display includes a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing, an integrated MagSafe charger to keep Mac notebooks charged, built-in Mini DisplayPort connectivity for video and audio input and a powered three-port USB 2.0 hub to keep iPhone or iPod synced and charged.
The new LED Cinema Display has some green features as well. It now includes a new ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts the display brightness based on external lighting conditions and uses only as much energy as necessary. Made with mercury-free LED technology, arsenic-free glass and highly recyclable materials, the LED Cinema Display meets stringent Energy Star 5.0 requirements and achieves EPEAT Gold status. The new display contains no brominated flame retardants and all cables and components are PVC-free.
Again, the new LED Cinema Display will be available in September for $999.99. The LED Cinema Display requires a Mac with Mini DisplayPort. We’ll post a product description and specials on the 27-inch display as soon as it is available from Apple!
