Apple Silently Updates the 30″ Cinema Display
Published March 29th, 2006 in Apple, PC, TV's, Technology
I think that this update was made by Apple to compete with Dell’s UltraSharp 3007WFP which had a higher specification up until now. CNET did a review recently comparing the two, and although Apple’s 30″ Cinema Display beat Dell’s for better colour accuracy and sharpness, Dell did a good job. The Dell screen has better features (more ports and adjustability) and had smoother text production than Apple’s Cinema Display.
So what exactly did Apple change? They updated the brightness of the screen to 400cd/m2 from 270 and upped the contrast ratio to 700:1 from 400:1. Now the technical specs (apart from the ports, etc) of the Cinema Display match Dell’s 30″ monster exactly. Coincidence? I think not.
