Product Information:
Apple Cinema Display (1999) was an Apple Mac monitor introduced alongside the PowerMac G4, Apple's top-spec and most expensive Mac available at the time.
Cinema Display was a white plastic display, encased in a clear plastic shell. The display had a flip stand at the back, allowing a user to adjust the angle of the screen.
The displays design language resembled the transparent elements of the PowerMac G4, and iconic PowerMac G4 Cube.
The screen was 22-inches, and had a resolution of 1600x1024. The display could show 16.7 million colours and could remain consistent due to the wide viewing angle of 160 degrees.
Apple boasted that Cinema Display had twice the brightness, sharpness and three times the contrast of other 'ordinary' displays. They also claimed it was "the largest LCD ever brought to market."
Apple sold this new display along side its line of Studio Display models, which were ultimately discontinued a few years later in 2004. This Studio Display lineup is different to the current models Apple offers today, which were introduced in 2022.
