A refresh for the Apple Cinema displays may be in the works

Section: Apple News, Rumors, Conferences, Macworld, Mac + Computers, Peripherals, Cinema DisplaysMacRumors is reporting a rumor of new Apple Cinema displays to be announced at MWSF 2009. The only feature rumored to be added is LED backlighting. Apple’s 20”, 23”, and 30” Cinema displays have remained expensive and relatively unchanged since launched in 2004. You may remember Jobs’ promise of a complete switch to LED backlighting for all of Apple’s displays as fast as the industry could support the transition. So far, only the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro have enjoyed the benefits of being backlit by LEDs. The article continues to say that there are 30” LED backlit displays currently available from Samsung, but they cost over $4000. I think a product refresh on the Cinema displays will be welcomed, and LED backlighting will be huge, but neither the article nor the rumor say anything about design. Will Apple stay true to the brushed aluminum look? I think it’s likely, seeing as the MacBook Air and Pro are both encased in it, and all rumors point to a complete switch to brushed aluminum MacBooks. So it seems that LED backlighting will be the only new feature. Is Apple just going to launch a moderate improvement, or do they still have something up their sleeve? What else does Apple need to do to make you want to buy a Cinema display? Lower the price? Add multi-touch? Leave a comment.

Apple Cinema Displays: Epic. Fail.

Section: Mac + Computers, Peripherals, Cinema Displays, OriginalsYou should not buy a Cinema Display from Apple. They are a total rip-off, and aren’t even the best displays. First off, the cinema displays are wayyyyy overpriced. For the cost of the 20-inch display, I could buy two Dell 24-inch displays. Unless you are a big-time, famous graphic designer or someone who just has a lot of money to burn, I don’t think a 30-inch display is even close to your price range. And, to pour salt in the wounds, even the “refurbished” Cinema Displays will require a second mortgage. The image above shows the “deal” you will get on a “refurbished” display. For some reason, the folks over at Apple got their prices messed up. Here, it shows that the 20-inch display originally costs $1,299, when, in fact, it is only $599. Thus, buyers think the price drop to $499 is a much better deal. Isn’t that false advertising? Yup. Hasn’t Apple considered the fact that they could get sued for that? Guess not. Secondly, they aren’t even the best monitors. You’re really paying for a shiny, half-eaten Apple on the back of a hunk of aluminum. This Dell monitor, which costs $389 after rebates, is an inch bigger then the 23-inch Apple. The Apple Display is almost $600 more expensive then the Dell. The Dell also has a faster response time and much better contrast ratio. In general, you should just stay away from Apple Cinema Displays. They might look awesome, but they don’t have the performance or affordability to back that up. If Apple wants to keep selling displays, they should definitely consider an upgrade. What is your opinion on the Cinema Display? Would you buy one?  Full Story » | Written by Mark Rowland for Appletell. | Comment on this Article »

Rumor: New Cinema displays at Macworld '09?

MacRumors speculates on the possibility of Apple releasing updated Cinema displays at next year's Macworld Expo. According to the post, the new displays could incorporate the LED backlight technology that Apple has started building into their 15" MacBook Pros. MacRumors notes that LED backlit displays going into the 30" range tend to be more expensive than Apple's current 30" Cinema display. However, if this is true, it would be a nice change from Apple's 2004 design of the current Cinema displays. There is no word yet on if the new displays would include the iSight camera.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
