Miscellanea

• The Apple Cinema Display has an outboard power supply, which may warp over time. Power supplies are available however, so a user can simply replace the bad one.
• This model, like other new models, had an anodized aluminum enclosure, which matched all of Apple’s high-end lines of professional products. An alternative stand, or a wall mount could be used with a VESA mount adapter kit, which was sold separately.
• Though the 30-inch aluminium Apple Cinema Display enclosures had not been redesigned for a long period of time, several “silent” improvements were made to the brightness levels and contrast ratios.
• With the introduction of the 24-inch, LED Cinema Display in October 2008, the 23-inch Cinema HD Display was discontinued. The 20-inch model was also discontinued in February 2009, leaving the 30-inch Apple Cinema display as the only model left.
• This display is housed in an aluminum design with a thin bezel, suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that makes tilting the display almost effortless.
• The model supports the Electronics Standards Association’s (VESA) mounting interface standard, which makes it easy to mount this display on a kiosk, wall, or articulating arm.
