Apple WWDC 2004 Keynote - The first aluminum Apple Cinema Displays introduction

The first aluminum Apple Cinema Displays ever, introduced by Steve Jobs at WWDC 2004.

Including the introduction of the first 30" ACD, which was an industry first.

These displays use S-IPS panels, the best at the time, and CCFL backlight. The displays are all matte.

The displays are amazing... but really, really expensive! The majority of Mac Mini customers must use PC displays.

I miss my 23" ACD only because I loved the matte screen finish, but realized it was getting old and the backlight was trying to tell me that it wanted a nice rest and had to upgrade to the new 27" ACD. I have to say the new 27" looks a lot better as far as colors go, but gloss is very annoying and not good for a professional like me who looks at the screen X amount of hours a week. Sorry apple, but you need to bring back matte. Leave the gloss to the consumer level macs...

Its fun that displays have not evolved since Apple invented the 30 inch display in mid 2004! 2012 will finally be the year that its technically possible to have a higher resolution display with minimum 60Hz thanks to Thunderbolt and/or AMDs fast HDMI.

REPLYING TO OLD COMMENTS FTW.

[Skylight00000]

Over 3k cash for a display? You kno how nice a computer u could get with that? :o
