LED Cinema Display vs 2009 iMac

[loocow1554]

"a lot more deeper" terrible grammar pisses me off

[casper671993]

what was the first song that you played? i know the song but i couldn't put my tongue on it.

[MrMegaNightmare]

Can't you also use a mac pro?

[bop066]

@MrMegaNightmare Yes, you can use any mac computer including the iMac.

[IndyCub86]

@zangounette Isn't the NEC resolution lower though? There are very few 2560x1440-2560x1600 displays ... and I thought all were at least a grand.

[zangounette]

apple design is nice looking but i hate glossy screen since i bought a NEC IPS screen (half cheaper and far better than the apple LED display)

[MusicWithDABASS]

i'd rather use a tv as my display LOL for anything close to 800 for a pc monitor isn't worth it

[DUDEFROMENGLAND]

YOU CAN USE IT WITH A MAC MINI

[SAMAHAWK251]

@DUDEFROMENGLAND AND MAC PRO



[nickthedane1]

500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm is that a bad hard drive huh? :)

[nickthedane1]

what the stick called you ned to use to your macbook pro on your LCD cinema display ?

[jgu0101]

Got my iMac fot the half-price :)

Used this guide. walkthroughs.blog.com/

[jake99776]

i don't really care I have both and love them very much. my iMac is the new 27" model though

[itchymitchy5]

You can connect the LED Cinema display to the Mac mini or the Mac pro too

[Cheedillow]

Only mac Users would be dumb enough to confuse a diplay with an all-in-one

[josepister]

im not sure about the imac but the cinema display bounces sound off of the stand to give better sound

[AGSystem27]

This is impossible, the cinema display is a ips led panel, and must be better than the color of the tn panel (imac)

[Carbonized433]

you can also use a mac pro

[isubscribetoanyone10]

can u connect the display to the imac??

[imopsvideo]

@isubscribetoanyone10 yes we can xD

[LauxHawk]

Lol your a fucking retart. You don't need a Macbook/Mac/Apple to drive a Cinema LED. Retart.Go suck steve jobs dick.

[mAcHeAd97]

hey sorry to bother you but im thinking about getting the display but i want to know is that if i just plug in my macbook is what is on my screen going to pop up on the display or is it going to act as a hardrive? please answer back asap.

[REPODONE]

@mAcHeAd97 fail????

[supersonicfan123]

can this be used for the mac mini?

[0Osiris0]

@supersonicfan123 the apple display can be used with any apple computer that has the mini display port. So i would say any apple computer within the last 5 years (major guesstimation there)

[Armaangandevia1]

whell now you can hook up a imac and a macbook and mac pro

[TheKMStudios]

you should see the new imac, brighter screen and resolution

[MKuhlberg]

@TheKMStudios and graphics card. and deeper color, and faster, and more ram, and bigger hdd. and snowleopard default xD i've got the early 2010 21.5" and a late 2008 20" the new one is SO much nicer.

[BennyAndTheJetsElton]

you dont have to have a macbook pro just a mac mini, and thats the best choice!

[mitch625]

@RandomDoomsday15 excuse me?

[RandomDoomsday15]

@mitch625 Respond to this video...

oh just delete my comment. i have to wait for two YEARS for my first mac. Im really sorry just delete my comment.

[RandomDoomsday15]

@mitch625

delete my comments i made before.

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

@mitch625 I agree.  I have to wait 1 1/2 years to get a Mac. It will be a nice one, but still, only one.

[RandomDoomsday15]

@YouHaveMetYourMaker

that sucks. I might have to wait about two years for a mac. as long as i have my windows 7 im good.

[Eytheeist]

@RandomDoomsday15 not everybody needs their mommy or daddy to buy them things, doesn't make them a "spoiled brat" you dumbass.

[MrLukeums]

@RandomDoomsday15 same D:

[rres2]

i fell you man i did research on macs for three years and took a whole another year to get a imac 21.5

[MamPocseXy]

Whant get on lockerz? Write me your email :))

[h4x0y]

fortunately the new imacs have LED displays too, and they also have better speakers. i would love to see future apple displays with OLED technology!

[brkila]

what do you think it looks the best imac or cinema display???

[ElleMusicTV]

When I started this video I got an ad for Windows 7. HAHAHAHA!

[RandomDoomsday15]

@ElleMusicTV

wow. i have windows 7 right now.

[Em13Baller]

IT will work if you have a Mac Pro or MacBook, not just MacBook Pro

[fez350]

@Em13Baller wrong way round.... this monitor was specifically designed for the macbook pro unibody (mini display port) and originally didn't work with the mac pro, i mac and macbook (before they went unibody as well) because they still had mini dvi, then they released the adaptors so it could be connected to the rest of the range, and now all the new macs come with mini display port

[unboxingforyou]

imac !

[Guideist]

omg dude everything apple

[d1995a3]

I love how Apple evolved their products from the cheap plastic look to All aluminum and LED display

[Fokysnik2]

The problem I see: it is glossy. It is not just i-Mac it is pretty much every manufacturer responsible for this 'Crime Against Humanity'. Let alone the fact that seeing myself is disturbing enough, it is the sky and clouds when 'outdoors' or fluros when inside. It is fine to be reminded of natural beauty or to save electricity, but occasionally I just want to work without destructions.

[houou100]

Yep. I'm not sure which trend I hate more - glossy or 16:9.

[lakshmere]

@Fokysnik2 switch off your the lights behind you and no reflection anymore. you're welcome, glad to help anytime.

[Jenkins650]

nice vid

[tomr345xX]

i know it isn't a computer, just the screen, but can you use everything from your macbook on the cinema display e.g. safari?

[opusman2]

Of course you can.

[mbm00]

this isnt really the 2009 iMac, He might have brought it in 2009 but its an old model. The new iMac displays i think are better than the cinema display.

[DeltaPhi79]

No it's the 2009 iMac. The EARLY 2009 iMac.

[Jenkins650]

@mbm00 but the real 09 iman came late

[TheiPhoneAddict]

This is the Early 2009.

[nyyfan2k]

compared to the new imac 27''... the imac now wins.

[Armaangandevia1]

@nyyfan2k yup got it

[MAXurMAC]

@nyyfan2k there making a new 27 in cinema display-check the appple site

[thibaulthalpern]

FINALLY! Someone demonstrating the speakers of LED Cinema display.

[xDJDGx]

Sorry... but which dumb people think, that the display has an integrated computer?! xD

[AlecMomont]

Don't be surprised... 90% of the people don't know the difference between a search engine or a browser.

[darkdylaner]

@xDJDGx the display is $900. people who are switching from windows (where their computers are about $900) could think that the monitor is just a lower model, or worser model then the $2000 iMac

[ledwatch]

'A lot more brighter'

'A lot more deeper'

Jesus H Christ.

[Juniorpond]

for some reason, when u compair the LED Cinema Display and the iMac side by side, at first glance the iMac looks like it has a 4:3 display instead of 16:9.

[wierasa]

which imac are you talking about. the new or the old?

[Juniorpond]

the one that is being reviewed in this video

[wierasa]

imac's display is 5:4

[matt56037]

They're both 1920x1200 = 10:16 = 5:8.

[wierasa]

oh.....whoops :)

[pyropaul566]

haha youtube thought that you meant 10:16 in the video

[matt56037]

Um... haha... I guess...

[pyropaul566]

ya sorry i couldn't help but point it out

[matt56037]

Lol no worries. :)

[whiteperson1]

yes you can, if you got the power cable plugged in, and mouse and external keyboard

[rubenjulianperez]

can you close the mac book pro completly while having the cinema display functional

[nismogtrr34]

cinema display looks nice

[epicxbread]

The reason the LED screen dimms so much is because its back-lit.

Overall, the iMac has a H-IPS panel. The Cinema display has a S-IPS panel.

The iMac has the better screen.

[xXsaurboiXx]

Will LED Cinema Display work dual monitor with my windows laptop? Its a HP Pavilion dv6. Please reply

[TheMacintoshPro]

Sadly it wont. Apple has made the Cinema Display with a MiniDisplay Port and as of this time there are no adapters for MiniDisplay Port and i'm guessing your HP Has DVI, VGA, and HDMI? As an example HDMI Out from HP to MiniDisplayPort plug. another thing is that it's more so ment for a Mac because Apple has also added their Power Adapter to it. But you never know someone will have an adapter someday. i'm waiting for an adapter myself for my older generation MacBook Pro through DVI to use it.

[tobstar007]

Yes, however you need to purchase the Apple MiniDisplay Port to VGA (or DVI) adapter to plug it into your computer.

[sitadriver]

i mac is better,but it look like washing machine to me.

[RenegadeMaster07]

hey, you have A - Nothing. theyr an awesome band, i bought that single when it came out maybe almost 10 years ago :)

[mitch625]

are you kidding me, i never knew they were that old!

But awesome song :)

[RenegadeMaster07]

yeh its wierd to think of it lol i can't believe the songs so old now.

Starbucks was a good song too :)

btw good video. i used the imac at college (the white one) but hav also used the aluminium one and they're just not great for audio. its just too tinny.

even if the cinema display is better, id still opt for dedicated speakers, as my 24" HP monitor (maybe apple copied the design lol look it up HP w2408h) has built in speakers too, but built in just isnt good enough for constant use.

[mysticalclown]

cant wait till i will get my macmini and connect it to my 23" samsung syncmaster.

One more Mac user ! for Mac Community.

And a fanatic one.

[someonewhoknowsya]

You can change the base settings and what doesnt make sense is that when you turned down the LED display the iMac's brightness went up as you can see in the video, and vice versa.

[CosenaEnzo]

Your accent is really similar to Jony Ive the apple designer! Compliments! Great review! ;-)

I think that the next generation of iMacs will have the same LCD panel of the LED Cinema Display! ;-)

[justchilliwithindo]

i hope what ur saying here will happen, sounds yummy to me your idea, =)

[Pju18]

love your accent <3

[stevenjw2006]

why do people feel they need other peoples opinions before they buy something. its a personnel choice, do you want a computer that stays in one place or do you need the practicality of a laptop

[haha48]

or save the space the problem with people is they tend to spend alot of money with out thinking about it and then regret it latter but if they ask someone about it makes them feel better about buying it Ive sold vista to people that came into the store and said I hate vista blah blah I was like ok what do you hate.. they were like ahhh it sucks.. I was like let me show you I show them vista and mac and preformace wise for price and they usally buy vista because its cheaper.. thats the irony

[EpiDemic117]

I have vista. Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, its the most stable OS I have ever used. My last comp was a real POS. Shitty modified dell parts. Fuck that

[TWITCHproductions125]

can you hook a different laptop to the led display screen

[cyprusboy56]

1) or any other computer

the apple led cinema display is thicker and it uses led technology.

You seriously spend 800 $ for a monitor with a chrome apple logo?

[mitch625]

I obviously did

[cyprusboy56]

:D i can see that! keep it mac man!:)

[mitch625]

lol :)

[Punk1044]

same here middlefinger22, im tryin out a costco 28" monitor for like 300 bucks. 600 bucks for a 24" doesnt sound worth it to me. Maybe im wrong and its the greatest thing ever invented, but meh, ill just stick with 28" display XD.

[memea1915]

my macbook air is breaking

[RoundTheBendFilms]

thats why you don't swing it around dumbie xD ahaha jkjk

[psarlay]

The only bad thing about this display is the shiny screen, it looks good if you're just looking at it, but when you're working, you can get a lot of unwanted reflection, which can be very annoying.

[middlefinger22]

**HelloPleaseReply**

Ok how do you charge the Cinema Display?

Do you need to charge it with your Macbook?

wont it kill your battery Quckly because

thats one

Big Bright Screen

Could you plug it into the wall Some how? Thanks

Nice Video BTW

(:

[jackmulop]

the cinema display has a cord coming from the back that goes directly into the wall to charge it.

[thelimerunner]

It's not a portable display. It has to be plugged in in order to use it.

[RoundTheBendFilms]

1. You don't

2. again. You dont.

3. It wont kill it because it's not ghost powered

4. Comes with an AC power cord.

Do some research next time:)

[middlefinger22]

1.Your Rude

2. Now i Know that it Has an AC Cord

3. Wtf Dose this Have to do with Ghosts

hunny I did my Research (:

[RoundTheBendFilms]

dude come on I didnt mean to be rude. Also, when I mean ghost power i meant phantom power which means it sucks battery life from the macbook. If you use this display you wouldent bring it everywhere so you dont need to worry about it killing your payload. If you have it its meant for like a base station for your desktop. Like using a portable removable mac pro. (if you get what I mean)

[middlefinger22]

i know its not portable

its a display to keep on my

desk i was going to buy it but its a bit to

pricy im going to get an hp instead

and connect with mini VGA

Byee (:

[Mattar109]

i like the i mac display a little better cause the led display looks like the colors blend to white to much and it looks a little washed out

[JRMProduction]

What camera do you use? it looks incredible.

[productfeedback]

He uses a FX-37 Panasonic

[stevenjw2006]

can you set the macbook up so it runs but you can shut the macbook completly and put it out of the way

[jakeroot1]

Not right now, because when you shut the Macbook's screen closed, it goes into sleep, and because the LED display runs off of the Macbook's battery, it would not power on. When Mac's sleep, they shut off all the ports, to save as much battery as possible. Do like I do, just set the Macbook on like a shelf next to the desk, so you don't see it. Just make sure it's plugged in, or else that display will DESTROY the Mac's battery. (i.e. run the battery down fast)

[stevenjw2006]

K, im sure apple will come out with something soon on the matter, plus there too expensive just for a monitor

[mattdotts]

is led cinema display 1080p?

[Tazjin]

It's 1920*1200

[Submapig]

No its not but if you want a full HD one you need to get the 30" one

[rho070]

Full HD is 1920 x 1080 which the 24" can display at full width. The 30" has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 so it will have to interpolate both horizontally and vertically with full HD video giving you edges which are not as sharp.

[geebones]

how much that all cost you

[porche3r]

have a reallllly coool quastion!!!!  can hook up 2 led monitors on the mac and have a triple game setup

[matt56037]

Not on a MacBook. If you want a triple-screen setup with the 24" LED Display, you'd have to get a Mac Pro with 3 NVIDIDA graphics cards and 3 24" Displays. Mac Pros are too much computer and are extremely expensive, though, AND each graphics card is $150 AND the displays are $900 each, so that'd seriously break the bank.

[crazypony30]

Only a mac pro :3

[nemoalius]

yes you can

[cool7588]

the imac is still cool

[JustinProductions767]

why are you comparing a display to a computer?

[adwester111]

hes comparing the video output thingy, the quality and stuff

[mybigfriendlysalami]

Of course the cinema display will win. it is been focused on to be a true movie watchin screen whilst the imac is a all in one computer!!!

[ShaunTec]

Can't you hook the mac mini to the cinema display?

[razerguru]

Of course you can :)

[JustinProductions767]

yes...that's the whole reason apple makes mac minis.

[macflyfilm]

The one thing I don't want it a display that's brighter than my 24" iMac. I have it set to zero brightness, and it's still quite bright. Deeper blacks are always welcome though. You cannot get them deep enough.

[alecsuits]

The LED Cinema Display is deffinitly brighter than the iMac. I would choose the Cinema Display screen over the iMac screen.

[iEnjoiApple]

But the iMac is not only a screen, it is the whole computer in one. The Cinema display, is literally only a display.

[misstp90]

oooo i love the brightness feature, dnt wanna strain those eyes

good video!!

[Iluvh123]

You're right, the LED Cinema Display is HOT although I do have an iMac. no need for a cinema display.

[ObeyBrandon]

can you use the macbook and the cinema display at the same time?

[Spaceman4Moon]

yes

[SeanTheAppleDude]

yup you can dual screen.... not just have the macbook in desktop mode ; )

[Sicalin]

I have a suggestion. You could play us a song on youtube so you have the same 1 :)

[mitch625]

lol, i was originally going to to that... but my parents music is very very (and i mean very) different from mine haha.

[Sicalin]

but on the internet you dont have to download it :)

[mitch625]

well if you put it that way :)

[TheMacEnthusiast]

The only thing that would put me off getting a LED Cinema display is that its only about £300 cheaper then the iMac.

[Siddif88]

Great vid i didnt even know the Display had speakers i thought (with the mac mini) you had to provide your own so thats good to know. Im gonna get myself an iMac though as i usually use my headphones for sound and i want a desktop instead of using a macbook white for heavy duty apps (i have Final Cut and Adobe CS4 on the macbook for example).

[34skyline]

I want that LED Cinema but in a 30 inch just waiting Apple to release it

[DjMik101]

nice

[JJGisback]

thanks,I was going to get a imac but the cinema display looks way better

[Spaceman4Moon]

no get an imac

[JJGisback]

but it looks better,has a better design,and is cheaper.and I'm not looking for a computer,just a screen

[petersin71395]

can u use the cinema display on the imac

[Tazjin]

Yes u can, thats what im doing now and its TOTALLY awesome!

[jst4tim]

Nice vid.

[swimmerbc]

Do they make a Minidisplay port to minidvi so you can connect a old macbook to the new display?

[freebiemadguy123]

no.

[zamilmattar]

can the LED screen work if you the macbook is shut completely? I would like to use my wireless keyboard and mouse to work with just the LED screen and tuck away my macbook elsewhere. Is this possible?

[mitch625]

Yes it can.

What you need to do is connect the screen and keyboard ect, close the lid of the laptop and then press any button on the keyboard mouse and it should load straight back up.

mind you i found out the laptop gets a little hotter this way.

Hope this helps.

[Hunter50006]

Can't you get the Mac Pro or Mac mini too?

[nos2411]

yes

[arnolddisco]

yes

[psonick]

It would have been nice to maybe shown some sample pictures on both to see the differences you were talking about with the color representations and black levels on both displays. We probably wouldn't be able to tell through the video so I guess I'll just take your word for it. ;-)

[mitch625]

I was actually thinking of that, but if you do screenshots i dont think they pick up the color difference lol.

So yeah i couldn't think of anything else to do haha

Regards

[tehverybestcomment]

i'm using my cinema with about 60% brightness on :p too bright otherwise

[mitch625]

yea i know what you mean by that. i usually turn it down by 3 notches. Too much strain on the eyes. But it usually depends on the brightness of the day. (isnt likely in the UK lol)

[jshaw6000]

Get a macbook pro 13" and then the display screen.

[chetissweet]

Exactly what i have.

[jshaw6000]

You just got new 13" mb pro? How is it?

[chetissweet]

Its sooo good mann.

Like i have the 24" cinema display the exact one that he has as well with it. soo it is pretty much exact setup he has.

[amalwaysawsome]

is that the 20 inch imac (not sure the metric measurement) or 24

[AppleGuy1000]

20" iMac

[amalwaysawsome]

awesome

[snooperdoggy]

can i use the led display with a mac pro?

[LeodimeII]

Yes. DisplayPort to DVI is included.

[chetissweet]

yah

[lamp301]

U could also use a mac pro or mac mini.

[ace7394]

are u getting the new iphone?

[mitch625]

I probably will when my contract ends, but i probably wont jump to upgrade as i dont really see a major need to upgrade.

The WWDC was a bit of a let down :(

[ace7394]

i have the first iphone and i really like this one do u think i should wait or get it now, my contact end in February :/

[chetissweet]

FUCKING PWNED.

hahaha.

dont go with contract. just buy it outright.

[pkns0]

good video, i got the macbook pro, and im thinking abount i should buy the LED Cinema Display :D
