A few days ago, several customers reported a shortage in the availability of current Apple Displays. The rumor mills mused that this indicated the immediate arrival of the new 27-in LED display. As it turns out, they were right. Earlier this morning, Apple officially made the new display available to pre-order while simultaneously discontinuing existing 24 and 30-in models.
The new display features 2560 × 1440 resolution and a 178° viewing angle in addition to several other features. Most notable are the built-in iSight camera and mic, three USB 2.0 ports and 49-watt on-board speakers. The new display retains the overall form factor of its predecessor while increasing both resolution and viewing angle. Resembling the 24-in model in terms of connectivity, the 27-in connects via Mini DisplayPort.
This means though it will work flawlessly with current generation Macs, its legacy support is somewhat limited. By eliminating the DVI based 30-in Cinema Display from their product line, Apple has made a bold move that will leave some Mac owners without the option of an Apple manufactured display. The good news, however, is that we’ve received a very limited quantity of 30-in Cinema Displays! We’re currently offering these displays with free shipping, so get them while they last!
