History

In July 2000, Apple replaced the 17" and 15" Studio Display monitors with new displays. The 15" monitor was renamed Studio Display LCD and the 17" Studio Display was marketed in a new transparent acrylic case. Both were equipped with ADC, Apple's new Apple Display Connector, which integrated data, USB and power in a single cable. The 21" Studio Display was discontinued. On May 21, 2001, Apple discontinued production of its last CRT monitor (17" DiamondTron) and launched a 17" LCD display.

Trivia

• In 2000 Apple revolutionized its monitors by introducing the ADC (Apple Display Connector), an innovative connector that carried data, USB, and power in a single cable, greatly simplifying connections. • The 17" Studio Display from 2000 featured a fascinating transparent acrylic case that allowed you to see the internal components, representing Apple's iconic aesthetic style during that period. • In May 2001 Apple definitively abandoned CRT technology with the discontinuation of the 17" DiamondTron, marking the end of an era and the complete transition to more modern and efficient LCD displays.
