Image is Everything

Apple pulled another trick out of it's engineering hat: a new family of displays in stunning crystal-clear enclosures. The 17 inch Apple Studio Display CRT at the price of $499, the 15 inch Apple Studio Display flat panel at the price of $999 and the 22 inch Apple Cinema Display at the hefty sum of $3,999.

Apple's new displays are designed
to complement Apple's Power Mac G4 Cube and Power Mac G4 professional
desktops. All three displays incorporate three new advances:
each is powered from the computer, eliminating the need for a
separate power cord; each has a two port powered USB hub for convenient
connection to desktop USB devices, such as keyboards, USB speakers
and digital cameras; and each utilizes the Apple Display Connector,
a revolutionary new cable that carries analog and digital video
signals, USB data and power over a single cable and features a
quick latch connector.
Apple says their 17 inch Apple Studio Display features a natural flat diamondtron CRT, for extraordinarily sharp text and ColorSync calibration to keep colors accurate over time. A "Theater Mode" has been added to provide increased screen brightness for viewing of full screen iMovie, DVD or QuickTime movies. The 15 inch Apple Studio Display provides a crisp and very bright picture. On the high-end, Apple is offering their 22 inch Apple Cinema Display flat panel. It is the largest all-digital LCD flat panel display ever brought to market and offers a pure digital interface, an extra wide viewing angle and support for true 16.7 million saturated colors, making it perfect for even the most demanding graphics-intensive applications, according to Apple. The monitor is ideal for viewing two full pages of text and graphics, which excites many designers and people in the print industry.
-Joey Cooper wishes he had a Cinema Display for page layout.
