New Cinema Display?
I am seriously considering buying a 22 inch cinema display, the only question i have is that they have been out for a while now and I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to wether or not t Apple is planning an update in the near future.. possible increase in screen resolution?? Size.. etc... any info would be great. Its a beauty to see that thing up close.

IPS , super IPS, MVA or classical TFT ?
MVA are supposed to have all the advantages together.
I think you are correct on the screen prediction... fits right in with the coming Apple "Hollywood" phase.
Also found out that the second connector on the GForce 4Ti card coming our way is a DVI-I connector which also carries analogue VGA. Essentially you can plug any sort of monitor onto the second output. Cool card.
[quote] I wonder if Apple will release a display that has some untried technology. Nanomirrors, baby! Or plasma. Or... I dunno. Sometthing futuristic. Maybe Apple will sell the first Holobox. A real-time updated 3-D Macintosh interface. You can manpulate it with your figers. <hr></blockquote>
Get your fiNgers out of there!
The Cinema Display ADC is fabulous and a great companion to a Cube; with the new PowerMacs it would be great as you hook it up with an LCD too! If you are buying the whole thing later this year, might as well wait a bit, if you can hook it up tomorrow, I'd say do it. :cool:
1. WHEN do you think Apple will update it's LCD display line?
2. WHAT other size displays will we see and at what resolutions?
RailheadDesign.com had a few predictions back in December about a 19" display that we would see "sooner than later". Personally I'm in the market for a 19" widescreen LCD display. So let's toss that into the list and see what we can come up with.
Do you think Apple will update all its displays at once, or one at a time?
How long has the current display line been available, and based on Apple's product lifelines, when might we see updates?
So far I've heard:
23" Cinema Display (16:10, 1920x1200)
19" Cinema Display (16:10, ????x????)
17" Studio Display (4:3, 1280x1024)
My beige 17" AppleVision has been good to me, but she's on her last leg.
Any thoughts??
Angryman, I too am considering a Cinema Display, but I am playing the waiting game right now. It's not easy....

I don't know of anyone else who makes a 22" LCD other than Apple, so it seems reasonable that the 23" display will be made for Apple.
I wouldn't venture to guess a release date.
<strong>The original cinema display was launced at the same time as the first G4s, and cost $4000 or more. For this reason I think we'll see a new cinema display when we get the G5, with a bigger size, higher res and styling to match the G5 look. I'm not hazarding a guess at when the G5 will happen, though (I hoping, and it needs to be MWNY, but MWSF '03 looks more realistic).</strong><hr></blockquote>
<img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> following similar logic i would venture to guess that if a new cin display comes out before the g5 we will have a hint at the new g5 styling :cool:
i really don't see a need for a new display to be released immediately. so apple could sit on it until the g5. i'd hardly call their displays, especially the cin display, antiquated.
I paid a lot, a very, very big lot, $3999 when I had used my 15" with my Cube/500. I knew in a flash that the ability to have two or three open windows across for editing, to zero in on Japanese or other complex fonts, and then watch DVDs in Cinema mode would be something I would be happy for if I could ever get it paid for. It has been a joy. I am now looking forward to the day when I can even set it up with both the LCD displays!
But I am afraid that will be good way down the road, since I'd have to get a PowerMac G4

:cool:
Does anyone make one?
When do you think we'll see LCD updates.
My guess is that Apple will release new displays for Valentine's Day because I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM.
Seriously, I could hump one of those Cinema Displays.
