History

Alongside the new Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White, Apple released new monitors. The original Studio Display was marketed in a new color (Blueberry) and Apple added new displays to the line. A 17" DiamondTron monitor and a 21" Trinitron display were added to the series, both available in Blueberry. All Studio Displays were redesigned at the time of the Power Macintosh G4 release. They were then marketed in graphite, but their technical specifications did not change.

Trivia

• The Power Macintosh G3 Blue and White was accompanied by newly redesigned Studio Display monitors in the "Blueberry" color, creating an aesthetic harmony between the computer and its accessories. • Apple expanded the monitor line by adding a 17" DiamondTron screen and a 21" Trinitron screen, both available in the characteristic Blueberry color to maintain visual uniformity across the range. • With the arrival of the Power Macintosh G4, all Studio Display monitors were redesigned and changed from Blueberry color to graphite, while maintaining identical technical specifications.
