History

AppleVision monitors were designed as high-end displays. They were equipped with Sony Trinitron tubes for superior quality. In 1997, Apple released 'ColorSync', a powerful color management software. ColorSync allowed the user to match document colors to colors during acquisition, editing, and output. Launched in May and August 1997, the first ColorSync 750 (08/97) and 850 (05/97) displays were identical to the AppleVision 750 and 850 displays and both series supported ColorSync.
