    I wonder if the nature of video, scan lines, may have cancelled out the lines on a nornal cinema Display?



    Either way, I would think that the next CInema Displays will match the spy photos we saw a few weeks ago...



    Oh and warpd... can the back and forth commentary on defending your stupid remarks. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    but where are the Aqua stripes then?



    If you look very closely you'll see them on both, Display and Aqua, no new Display IMO.





    bye.

    Pretty sure it's not a 17" CRT, the power buttons on those are real buttons, like on the front of a G4, the power buttons on flat panels (15/17/23" ones, not the 22") are touch sensors, and this looks like a touch sensor. The resolution on this looks like 640x480 or 800x600, and the flat panels can scale to lower resolutions at full screen (I've seen one do it) and the picture quality at scaled resolution is pretty half-assed (like in this pic, even if it is a screen grab jpeg). And why would an Adobe training CD video shoot get access to unreleased white displays? It looks to me like a weird exposure on the lighting and camera, maybe over exposing on the video to get the screen bright enough in the shot. My £0.02

    Oh yeah



    and might I mention - it's a lot easier to film an LCD that doesn't have a 'refresh rate' than to synch up the refresh rates on a video camera and a CRT.

    I think it's just a recent 17-inch LCD, running at a lower res so what's on the screen shows up better for the training video. Look how huge the stopwatch is, it doesn't look that big on a 15 at native res, does it? It's as big as the power button.



    The casings on the LCDs are really quite light. The funny thing is, I was just thinking today that mine looks very white next to my old graphite G4.

    It clearly is no iMac and no 17" CRT. I have the new MacWelt here including the two Adobe InDesign demonstration CDs. It's just a standard Apple TFT.

    The picture is just very bright, that woman has a heavy backlight



    Here's another image to clear things up:

    Hey, that looks white from the side, too! But it's probably silver just lit that way.



    Still, I DO predict a change from silver to white linings in the display lineup AND and Power Macs. I don't predict totally new display casings: why put a chrome logo on the ACD HD 23, if they don't plan to just change to white paint later? If the next displays were a different shape, they wouldn't bother with a chrome logo until then.



    (As for those Power Mac pics... I've decided that the silvery cast to the front panel just comes from the frosted plastic--it does look white to me, too white to be just overexposed. And chrome panels on white would actually look GOOD. Chrome on silver wouldn't, to me.)



    So I say white-and-chrome is the future!

    OK, here is my take...



    It is a new model. DOn't ask me why or how Adobe has one...I have no idea.



    But here are the points in fact:



    ?Heavily back lit as this thing is it is still white and are no stripes.



    ?The white edging is as wide as the translucent border on current models and is, well, white and not translucent until the bottom corner where the leg is obviously so. This mirrors the design idea of floating ala iMac LCD



    ?The surround piping (the black ring) is too black. If the back-lighting was strong enough to 'wash' the stripes it would do the same to the piped area. It does not.



    Occam, people!



    It is either another real shot of something we have yet to see... or a hella photoshop job



    PS, Some of you think PS is way more powerful than it really is.

    [EDIT] I don't intend to say whether it (the pic) is fake or real





    With thousands of people saying Photoshop fakes regarding the cube, upcoming PowerMac, and now the display I think I should charm in



    People....no matter in MacNN, AI, MacRumors blindly overestimate the ability of Photoshop just like blindly believe Mac is 2x as fast as PCs. It's not God's tool. It won't turn a 90 years old lady to a 3 years old girl.



    Also what's the point for people to spend thousands of hours on making a fake? For fun? I don't think so. People have works to do..... Okay. If they are really do this for fun they really need serious therapy.

    If Apple was moving to a white motif for the Power Macs, don't you think the Pro Keyboard in the photo would also be white?

    That is definatly a 15"/17" Studio Display. You can see a clear "leg".



    However, if anyone has a studio display here (like me), look closely at it. There pinstripe pattern is caused not by painting, but by lines in the plastic. In a washed-out photo, these lines are almost not visible.



    However, look at the edges. At the edge of the pinstriping on Apple displays is a black, rounded rectangle. When the pinstripes overlap the line a bit at the edge, the pinstriping effect becomes dramatic, with black on white pinstripes.



    That appears to be present in the above photo, as the edges are jagged.

    EDIT: Looking at it again, it appears that the edge of the rectangle is no more pronounced than other edges. Interesting Picture.

    I don't get it. Its just a 17" LCD Studio Display.

    Weren't there similar arguments when this photo appeared and seemed to be flat (no pinstripes)?

    Please tell me someone isn't still trying to convince us that that is a new white LCD.

    The last time I checked, pinstripeless ASDs did not exist either. So, some insider got just an ASD and was able to put it on a training CD? Yeah, right.

    Looks like a retouch to me. The bottom edge of the panel, just above the Apple logo, where it meets the frame, looks as though it's been badly cloned.

    You people need to be lined up for a patented Moe Howard roundhouse slap.







    It's an EXISTING STUDIO DISPLAY (LCD vs. CRT is up for debate...I don't really care). Deal with it, please. I understand the excitement and need for new hardware goodies...but come ON!
