Each display includes a FireWire 400 hub and a USB 2.0 hub, each with two ports. So you can connect a printer or scanner, or a digital camera or camcorder. The FireWire port provides a convenient place to plug in an iSight camera for video chat, presented beautifully on your Apple display, or to connect your iPod dock. You can also make best use of all the latest USB 2.0 devices, whether you’re using your display with a Mac or PC.
The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT, which comes in our standard configuration, provides excellent all-around performance for creative applications.
If you’re working in motion graphics, animation, digital photography, or 3D design and visualization, the faster ATI Radeon X1900 XT may suit your needs perfectly.
Or choose the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card. One of the most advanced graphics cards available, the Quadro FX 4500 provides a 3D stereo graphics port for stereo-in-a-window applications, making it an excellent choice for high-end scientific visualization.
Apple Cinema Displays
Feast your eyes on more than four million pixels in the first high-resolution 30-inch flat panel display designed for the personal computer. The Apple Cinema Display line features a gorgeous new anodized aluminum enclosure to complement the Power Mac G5 or PowerBook G4(1) and includes PC-compatible 20-inch and 23-inch models. The state of the art starts at $999.
See the Forest and the Trees
The 77% increase in screen real estate of the 30-inch Cinema HD Display gives you the space you need to visualize your entire creation yet provides the resolution necessary to edit in place. So you can lay out a two-page spread and edit text without squinting. Or work with a Photoshop document with room for more than 30 layers in a palette. Take in the whole timeline in Final Cut Pro HD, with audio controls. Display an unheard of 126 Logic mixer controls simultaneously. Or peer into four different modes of a molecule visualization with subatomic detail. Add this colossal advancement in innovation to your well-equipped Power Mac G5 for just $2999.
Connect With Pure Digital DVI
Give your PowerBook G4 a second display when you’re not on the road. Connect the 23-inch Apple Cinema HD Display or 20-inch Apple Cinema Display directly to any PowerBook G4 with a DVI port or get the big picture with a 30-inch Cinema HD Display and your 15-inch or 17-inch PowerBook G4 with dual-link DVI functionality. This DVI connection also removes all barriers to using an Apple display with a PC. If your graphics card supports DVI with DDC technology for widescreen viewing, you should be able to use these two displays with a PC.
Eliminate Tunnel Vision
The widescreen design of the Apple Cinema Display line offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them — longer wide than high. That’s why each display gives you the best view for your work. It just makes sense to be able to display a Web page and its code next to each other horizontally, or long video timelines in wide format. And the 23-inch Cinema HD Display, at $1799, provides the exact resolution to display widescreen High Definition material. Apple engineers find that 100 pixel per inch resolution is ideal for images, yet allows you to easily work with sophisticated type treatments or just plain email. This painstaking attention to detail moves the industry forward and gives you best LCD technology available.
