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 began to be marketed in a transparent acrylic case. Both were equipped with ADC, Apple's new Apple Display Connector that carried data, USB and power in a single cable. The 21" Studio Display monitor was discontinued. On May 21, 2001 Apple discontinued production of the 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 monitor from 2000 was characterized by an elegant transparent acrylic case, which allowed you to see the internal components and represented Apple's minimalist design style of that period. • In May 2001 Apple definitively abandoned CRT (cathode ray tube) technology by discontinuing its last monitor with this technology, the 17" DiamondTron, and replaced it with an LCD display, marking the definitive transition to the modern era of monitors.
