Does any of you use Apple Cinema High Definition displays? I heard they were very good but want to know your comments on the colors?
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

as a former windows user, i can say there is know comparsion to other monitors. when i get enough money, i am going to the 30"
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I have the 23" display.
I have not regretted the purchase one bit.
Can't wait to go to HD DV.
I think it will meet my needs for years to come re HD, 16:9, etc.

Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I have a 23" at work...

And x2- 21" SGI Trinitron at home...
I really wish I could swap the 23" and take it home...
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I am going to be purchasing the 23 inch HD soon. They just recently cut the price from $1999 to $1799. There really aren't many displays that compare to the Apple Cinema displays. I understand that there was an issue with the 23 inch HD where there was a pinkish hue cast over images on the screen. There are discussions on Apples' Support page about the issue but it has since been cleared up. I believe it had to deal with the first batch of displays that were shipped back in June. I just love the aluminum finish of the displays.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I forgot to ask if they have blue switch for color adjusting like professional CRT monitor.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I'm using a 23"HD on a second system and it's killer. They're certified for color sync calibration so they're very accurate. I like it much better than my main dual 21" Sonys.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

But now why did you get the 23in instead of the 20in. His workspace very important and is there a signifiant difference between 23in and 20in because the ¨3in¨ more of the 23in are very expensive to get! :-/
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

Not saying anything is wrong with the Apple Displays but I bought me a nice 19" flat screen monitor for only $550 back in 2003. That 30" is niiiiiiiiice!!!! I have been tempted to take my G5 downstairs and hook it up to my 42 inch plasma!
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

There is a difference between the 20 ich cinema display and the 23 inch. The 23 inch Cinema display is High Definition where the 20 inch is not.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

Are you guys saying that the Apple HD display can be used in place of a production monitor for adjusting colors? That would be great news.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

no I don't think. LCD will never replace professional CRT monitor for color correction.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

It's just saying that it's certified (by pantone, etc) for acurate color. This mainly applies to print production. That said though, it's still pretty dang acurate in other areas. You can pipe a full HD signal to it right out of Final Cut HD, so they obviously had that use in mind.
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

I realize this is kind of a newb question but how extactly would I hook up the cinema display to an hd/hdv camera to realize it's (HD camera's) full quality?
 
Re: Apple Cinema HD display

Actually, personally, I would rather buy two Dell 20" at around $650 so that's $1300 http://tinyurl.com/2cwms . With the money I saved, I would buy a sweet ATI Radeon X800 XT for $499. Now I can jam in Motion....
BTW, I do have the Dell 20" and it rocks for the price.

Re: Apple Cinema HD display

Ya I agree! I think it's better to go with 2 dell 20" than one Apple HD 23" since the DVX isn't HD!
