This pic just cropped up over at Macnn...



The picture seems to originate from an Adobe training CD...apparantly the cd was given away free with this magazine <a href="http://=http://www.macwelte.de"; target="_blank">=http://www.macwelte.de</a>;

    Um, no. That appears to be the 17" CRT Studio Display.

    Does this picture prove that Adobe is going to make InDesign for Mac OS X? <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" />

    I have a 17 inch studio display, and it is in no way this light in colour.



    Even under the harshest of flashes and lighting, the graphite lines etc always show up...



    This to me just looked very, very light, almost white...



    Then again it may just be me

    That doesn't look like a CRT to me.. It looks like an LCD, but I can't be sure..



    But on the subject of white Cinema Displays, I want to bring up something that I thought of a while ago.. Does anyone remember that spy-pic of the new PM G4 that showed up on macrumors.com? Well, that Tower looks very white to me.. I predict that the new PowerMacs will be white with crystal clear handles.. just a guess tho, but if the eMac and the iMac are both white, it seems to fit.. I guess that means a white cinema display is not that far fetched..

    I am amazed that nobody has figured this out yet. Then again, this is AI, where nobody ever thinks clearly. It's a 15" LCD iMac. How painfully obvious does something have to be to be caught by people's BS filters?

Why is there an Apple logo on the bottom instead of the text 'iMac'? Also, the iMac does not have that inner lip or inseam before it hits the LCD. Not sure what this is, but I don't think it's the LCD iMac.

    Looks pretty much like any of <a href="http://www.apple.com/displays"; target="_blank">these</a> to me:

    Could be..although to me, it looks more closely matched in colour to the iMac pic posted than the Studio diaplays posted...

    Yeah, I must say that *does* look like a white studio display.



    The lines usually only wash out in really bad, overexposed pictures or really small, scaled-down pictures. This one is neither.



    Interesting.

    It's just odd lighting on a grey LCD.





    and anyway why would Adobe Germany be testing new LCDs in the first place. It's just new packaging - you don't need to test new software on monitors.



    . . . and then using them on a German training CD that was given away with a magazine?





    I think that's kinda telling right there.

    This is the only site in the world that would run a thread, about whether the bloody displays are white or simply a pale silver!!



    Couple of points:



    First, why the hell would Apple seed these displays to adobe to stick on some stupid promo CD.



    Second, this came on an Adobe CD, then the poster knows Photoshop well. Not the hardest thing to do to simply wash out that silver.



    Third, who cares!!! Lets talk resolution, features, connector, SOMETHING, other than the ******g color!!!!!!!!

    That border is definatly white, and it definatly isn't odd lighting... look at the accents on the top, if it were washed out, you wouldn't see them.



    Also the resolution looks pretty low on those...I know my menu bar is about half that size... (I run 1600x1200 on a 17")



    edit: Yeah it's the 17" CRT... it looks exactly the same as this...

    It does appear to be a 17" CRT, but I dont think the stripes would wash out like here, and I don't know why anyone would bother to retouch them out *and* not delete the Apple logo too.



    So, here's a guess. Apple has to do some pretty crazy things in Germany, ie a friend of mine has a PowerBook 5300 with a *white* keyboard - because that's what German law dictates. Could it be that such laws also dictate that screen fronts have to be plain coloured, not patterned?



    The easiest way for Apple to do this might well be to make them white.



    Just a guess.

    It is not outrageous to think that Apple would seed some new displays for Adobe to try out.. Adobe and Apple have a tight relationship, and Adobe is one of the biggest graphics companies in the world.. Its not like Apple seeded them to Adobe for the sole purpose of being on this promo CD... Sheesh



    The poster does NOT necessarily know Adobe photoshop that well.. Anyone who bought that magazine could very well have posted this..



    Why don't YOU bring up SOMETHING to talk about instead of acting like an ass?



    not impressed

    I used a 17 inch CRT for a year or so, and still have it hooked up at my home...



    A few points from the pic...



    The CRT does not have a 'flush' power button as per the Studio display (and the cube). It is an actual button that can be depressed. The Button on the pic looks like an LCD screen button....



    The edge of the disply does not look like it 'goes back' into the transparent area that contains the tube at the rear of the monitor, as the CRT would do...It looks like th transparent edge of the display continues down to a 'leg' assembly as per the studio display...



    Either way it's kind of perplexing...

    I (Austria, which more or less is part of the german market) used to work on a 17" Apple CRT and it definately had the ugly stripes. So I think while germany may have a law on white keyboards they are not strict on implementing it (Dell does nicely selling their black b0x0rz).



    It looks unusual and either it's some prototype stuff or people at Adobe can mod their equipment every once in a while



    (Or, if it is a video, it's simply that bad a quality that makes the TFT look white instead of silverish)



    edit: smiley correction
