Apple LED Cinema Display (24" flat panel)

Stunning

If you have a current line of Macbook Pro/Air and you have the mean. This is the monitor to get. It fits with the laptop well, and the colors are second to none.

If you do not like glossy finish, you may want to look elsewhere, but it does not bother me at all. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to buy see the actual unit first before making a decision.

It's heck a lot of money, but you get the convenience, the LED, and H-IPS penal.

Extended Desktop

This screen is indeed, an exceptional addition to anyone with an apple laptop that needs to be mobile, but also work with greater efficiency in the office or at home. My only disappointment with the screen, is its inability to become the primary screen when I hook my laptop into it. I am hoping that this will be sorted out by Apple soon enough, after which, this screen will have ticked all the boxes I could expect. It has also been entirely trouble free and the integration is seamless.

Very good indeed!

there are many displays out there. some are expensive, and some are cheeper.
many people think that this one is rather expensive, doesn't have enough usb ports, and all that. but if you think about it, it's very reasonable.

this display was built for the new macbook and macbook pro: therefor, it is perfect for that job.
when it is connected with the notebook, i'm sure it has enough usb ports.

it would be nice if it could connect with other and older notebooks, but everything that is almost perfect has a limit. in other words, nothing is perfect...most of the time.


and one more thing,
the display is beautiful!!!
so HD and all!

I purchased a refurb unit for $599.00 saving a few hundred dollars and I can tell you the display is amazing. I have had the Original iMAC G$ since 2002 and it was getting a little slow so I got a MAC Mini and the 24 inch display. IM glad I did and cant tell you how amazing it is... The speakers are quite good also...

Worth Every Penny

I've had this display for a week and haven't suffered an ounce of buyer's remorse. Its beautiful to look at on or off. Image quality is stunning, the best I've ever seen. It replaced an HP 2207 which is a very nice glossy monitor. I might still be using the HP except that I wanted an LED monitor so that things would look the same at all viewing angles. The bump up in size from 22 to 24 is nice too. Its true that you need the correct environment in order to avoid problems with a glossy screen. If you are able to control placement and room lighting you should get this monitor. I'm using it with a new dual 2.66 mini and loving every minute of it.

I love this 24" LED display the picture is amazing. The built in camera and speaker are good. I would recommend larger external speaker for audiophiles.

Stunning Display

Written by BW from Live Oak

As the description of this product indicates, it's for a very select target. It is simply gorgeous in it's simplicity of function and works well with my macbook pro. The three (3) connections make it an ideal companion to the macbook pro series of computers. It required absolutely no study of it's use. The computer recognized it upon connection and it's brilliance is outstanding. The cost, while a tad high, doesn't skimp on the Apple resolution to excellence in its design and simplicity. This by far, the finest monitor I have ever owned.

AMAZING DISPLAY...Some Might Not Like Glossy Screen

Written by AL from PHILADELPHIA

Oct 13, 2009

I purchased this display and I absolutely love it. The quality is amazing. Some people may not like the glossy screen, but I really do not care. I recommend purchasing the Apple Keyboard and Mouse...I already own the mouse and purchased the keyboard and love my new setup. The only thing I find annoying about the display is that the 3 built in USB ports only work when the display is connected to the computer. I was hoping to be able to charge my iPhone without the laptop plugged in but it doesn't work.

this is easily the best looking monitor ive ever owned, i was hesitant about the limited connectivity with the monitor as it does use the mini dvi connector, but with my brand new MacBook Pro its a perfect match! my desk looks awesome with it and its is crystal clear, i use low lighting sources so i have no glare problems whatsoever, this is way easier on my eyes, so bright, and the colors are GREAT! i do photography and this monitor is one purchase that makes me just as happy as when i bought my MacBook Pro, seamless integration! and i am actually surprised by the speaker quality, i even disconnected my original external speakers i was using when i plugged my MacBook Pro into an external monitor

also, some people complained about the length of cords... but its designed for a MacBook... and aftermarket mini dvi extensions are super cheap/easy to find on google if you do want to use it with a Mac Pro or use multiple displays

Best Monitor Ever

Written by CB from Westminster

Sep 23, 2009

I've bought alot of monitors and this one replaced another 24" (LG) when I got my Mac Pro. Man - what a difference. I am a designer so I need accurate even color -- this is the first monitor that actually gives me that. Images jump off the screen, text is clear, video is perfect. So don't believe people who think this is just like every other monitor out there-- it's not. If you have the right connection then get it.

Impressive quality, don't believe the whiners.

Written by AH from Berkeley

Just deboxed my new monitor, absolutely top-notch quality and connectivity. I have a macbook pro and couldn't be happier with the three-prong cord arrangement.

To address the two main gripes with this product-

1) The screen is not a mirror! I have a mixed brightness background and have very little visual interference issues when the monitor is on.
2) The interface cable is actually a little long for my liking. If you think the cable is too short, you probably have your desk set up poorly! (Where do you want to put your laptop, on the other side of the room?) Clutter would be a huge concern if it were any longer.

Thank you apple for sticking to aesthetics and quality.

Great Monitor!

Written by RW from Santa fe

I've now had this monitor for about 2 months and am very pleased. This is connected to a 24" iMac for dual display functionality. The length of the video cable is short, but for my use, it works fine. The richness of color, the crisp image display, and the brightness are all amazing. The monitor is expensive and I did extend the warranty. The bottom line is I'm very pleased with the monitor and if I had it to do all over again, I would.

Great Monitor. But cables are too short.

Written by RC from Mississauga

THE GOOD:

- Brightness. The aluminum 23" I've owned previously had to idle for a good 3 minutes before it could fully brighten up. this new 24" lights up instantly.
contrast ratio went from 700:1 (previous) to 1000:1 (now)

- Works "instantly", when i mean instantly i mean "INSTANTLY" (for those of you who don't know or haven't owned an external apple display before.... this monitor has the ability for you to choose a different wallpaper background and brightness for each display)

- Three usb 2.0 located at the back. Great for your devices like keyboards, mouse, tablets, volume controllers, speakers, ipod charging dock, mp3 player, etc.

- Glossy. Those of you who love sharp, crisp, and smooth images for slideshows and or movies. This monitor is perfect because anti-glare finishes do distort that clarity.

- Built in speakers, microphone, and isight (webcam). In the event if your macbook was placed away or closed, you still can have full advantage like if you laptop was opened up in front of you.

THE BAD:

- No choice of anti-glare. DON'T PANIC!!! theres all sorts of anti-glare flims you can purchase over the web for this monitor.

- Connector cables are short, your mac cannot be more than 3 feet away. If your using your macbook as a secondary display this shouldn't be a problem. Or consider getting the "bookarc"

OVERALL:

In the past month - my old apple aluminum 23" LCD (previous generation) failed. This was an upgrade for me. Theres not much to say about this monitor, it does what every other monitor does on the market today, but of course, apple always kicks-it-up and notch considering style, weight and footprint to a count - its all worth the investment in end. 5/5 APPLE!

This is an exceptional display, it does require however that for optimal use all lighting be up lighting. I work mainly on detailed image correction, and have found this to be an exceptional display. My work environment has only up lights, so no reflections.
