History

Launched in September 1999, alongside the Power Macintosh G4, the Apple Cinema Display was the largest flat panel monitor on the market. Unlike cathode ray tube monitors, it offered a huge visible 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 launched the 23" Apple Cinema HD monitor, which supported a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. The smaller Apple Cinema Display remained available for purchase.
