Apple 22" Cinema Display Officially Shipping

Over the past week we've received several notes from readers stating that they've received one but now it's official. From Apple's press release, "In a move that brings the largest LCD ever to market, Apple is shipping its Apple Cinema Display, a 22-inch all-digital flat panel that features a razor-sharp, distortion-free image and unique wide format design. The Apple Cinema Display, which incorporates LG.Philips LCD Co.'s 22-inch Active Matrix LCD, is twice as bright, twice as sharp and has three times the contrast of CRT displays, plus zero flicker. Its display data is supplied digitally from Apple's Power Mac G4 computers, and it provides an integrated two-port hub that allows users to quickly and easily attach USB peripherals. Slim in design, the display can feature two full-sized pages on the screen simultaneously--a critical feature for design and publishing professionals who demand a large virtual workspace.

Apple is also shipping a new 15-inch, all-digital Studio Display that features a digital video interface that is compatible with all configurations of the new Power Mac G4 line.

The Apple Cinema Display is sold exclusively through The Apple Store, bundled with a new Power Mac G4 computer. The Cinema Display is priced at US$3,999, and the new all-digital Studio Display, priced at US$1,299, is available separately through The Apple Store and Apple Authorized Resellers."
