History

Released in September 1999, alongside the Power Macintosh G4, the Apple Cinema Display was the largest liquid crystal display on the market. Unlike cathode ray tube monitors, it offered an enormous viewable area while requiring very little desk space. In July 2000 the Cinema Display was updated and equipped with the new Apple Display Connector (ADC). In March 2002 Apple released the 23-inch Cinema HD display, which supported a maximum resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels. The smaller Apple Cinema Display remained available.

Trivia

• In 1999 the Apple Cinema Display was the largest flat-panel monitor on the market, revolutionizing workspaces thanks to its generous dimensions but reduced footprint on the desk. • The ADC (Apple Display Connector) connector introduced in July 2000 represented Apple's proprietary innovation to simplify connecting monitors to computers. • In 2002 the 23-inch Cinema HD established an impressive standard for the time with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels, becoming a reference point for graphics professionals.
