now I"m not sure if I'm going to get an Imac or a laptop and one of these. I like the 24" screen space to work in cause I use a lot of Photoshop, Final Cut etc and like to spread out the toolbars and such. ]]>Dec 2nd 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/
If the previous LCD screens from Apple are any indication, this one would also be an S-IPS/H-IPS (or the like) display. This technology gives the best colors rendition but are has a somewhat slow response time compared to TN panels (found in the cheaper displays). S-PVA panels (like the 2408WFP from Dell) might be viewed as a middle solution between the two.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 6:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/

It's an excellent screen - I've been using it for 4 days but its ONLY compatible with unibody MacBooks and MacBookPros right now. No, Mirror doesn't mean the obvious ;) Rotation support is in 90 deg increments.

It's power supply is integrated - the AC cable is for the wall - no brick. You can power the laptop from it as it has a built-in MagSafe AC adaptor.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/

Apple have changed their direction I think, now they are catering for the consumer market.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/ glossy + antiglare.

So, if you want a matte screen, then the best option is to buy directly a matte screen, instead to convert one. Sadly Apple did remove this option, glass or bust.

Clearly none of you have actually tried one of these. They're bright, clear, pretty, convenient, and the reflections aren't distracting – except under the myriad fluorescent tubes you get in stores, which make matte screens look bad too.]]>Dec 2nd 2008 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/

Sorry - I wasn't very clear at all. The 24" LED Display has two cables coming out of it. One plugs into the wall and powers the Display. The other plugs into the laptop and ends in three plugs including a MagSafe AC plug (+ a USB and a miniDP). So you plug that MagSafe AC plug into your laptop to power it fromt he Display. You can use laptop open (in which case you have two screens, either spanning or mirrored) and use the laptops trackpad and keyboard, or you use it in clam-shell mode (laptop closed) in which case only the 24" display is available (and you need to plug in a keyboard/mouse).]]>Dec 2nd 2008 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/apples-24-inch-led-cinema-display-gets-unboxed-is-sure-glossy/Dec 2nd 2008 7:29AM
