Manufacturer's Description

Apple M9177LLA Silver 20" Cinema LCD Display

The widescreen design of the Apple Cinema Display offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them - longer wide than high. It just makes sense to be able to display a Web page and its code next to each other horizontally, or long video timelines in wide format. Its widescreen format makes this a perfect display for creative professionals. With room for viewing two full pages of graphics and text simultaneously, you can forget about wasting time scrolling through a document or toggling between windows. And you'll have plenty of room for tear-off menus, palettes, and toolbars. The display matches the sculpted aluminum enclosures of the Power Mac G5 and PowerBook. This strong, anodized aluminum also allows for an exceptionally narrow bezel, so you can use multiple displays together seamlessly. The Cinema Display hovers above your desk on a curvaceous stand, and hardly requires any pressure to adjust the viewing angle from -5 to 25 , since the enclosure is the lightest 20" Apple display ever.The Cinema Display includes a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports, so you can connect a printer or scanner, or a digital camera or camcorder. It supports resolutions up to 1680 x 1050 in 16.7 million colors and features a 0.258mm pixel pitch, 700:1 contrast ratio, 170-degree viewing angle in every direction and 300 nits of brightness.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Crisp, bright, relatively even toned from edge to edge. USB and Firewire ports at back. Responds well to color managed calibration, excellent viewing angle. Very sexy.

Weaknesses:No telescoping base to raise or lower display but its not really that big a deal

Overall Evaluation: I looked at the current field of 20" LCDs and now that Apple has lowered the price of this display it is really an amazing bargain. There is really no compromise here, it is an excellent display. Make sure if you calibrate the display that you disable the side brightness buttons using the software preferences as it is too easy to accidentally touch those buttons when changing the tilt angle of the display.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: beautiful design, clean linesexcellent colors

Weaknesses:expensive

Overall Evaluation: well, I tried Princeton and Dell before purchasing this widescreen lcd...colors on those two was awful. I need very accurate colors and only this Apple could deliver (unless I wanted to pay thousands of dollars for some high-end monitor).I finally decided to pony up the cash and pay for a good monitor for design. If you're just surfing the net or doing spreadsheets, then any other monitor will do, but when color is critical, then get this.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great design, materials, screen, etc. One of the best out there, if not the best.

Weaknesses:Doesn't seem to like to USB interface well with a PC.

Overall Evaluation: Great design, materials, screen, etc. One of the best out there, if not the best. Only problem I've seen so far is it seem to like to USB interface well with a PC. Maybe this is user error. Regardless, this is just a brilliant monitor, do yourself a favour and try one out.

Duration of ownership: 2 Days

Strengths: Excellent LG panel and beautiful design

Weaknesses:Pricey, only 1 input, only brightness adjustments on the display

Overall Evaluation: This and the Dell 2005 both use the same LG panel - but the build quality (and price) are worlds apart. The Apple is beautifully designed with a single cable for power, DVI, USB and firewire. It's as beautiful to look at off as it is on. Lighting is fairly even, colors are good - the later being a given since it is an S-IPS panel. The cons - expensive, twice as much as the Dell 2005 on a good day. Only 1 DVI input (this might irk those with a laptop and desktop). No adjustments on the display except for brightness. Scaling and a few image options like color temp would have been nice. Granted, much of this can be done in software and but it should be present on a $800 monitor.

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Excellent picture, beautiful (and very functional) design.

Weaknesses:Expensive.

Overall Evaluation: Deep rich colors, great contrast, better than any CRT monitor I've used. I like everything about this monitor except the price tag... but than again, I paid for it, so I guess I can't complain.
