New Apple Displays?

Tuesday June 8, 2004 7:42 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
ThinkSecret provides details for the long rumored redesigned Apple displays.

According to the rumor site, the new displays will offer DVI connectors in lieu of Apple's proprietary ADC connector and also offer firewire connectors built in.

The new screens should come in at 20" (1680x1050), 23" (1920x1200) and 30" (2560x1600) sizes with dramatically new aluminum designs. ThinkSecret also offers an artist rendition of the new screens.

A 30" Apple LCD has long been rumored.

I hope you are right and the 30" doesn't cost more than $3000...

From the look of this new display it looks like Apple wants to enter the TV market like Dell, but its a little unfortunate that this 30'' Monster would only be available for the PowerMac G5s. Still good news for me since I could now buy a 20'' at a cheaper price or better yet a 23'' at the cost of a 20'', cause I highly doubt Apple would increase the price of already high priced displays. Also I like the idea of being able to save money on that damn ADC-DVI adapter for my Powerbook!! At first it seem a little ugly but I remember back when ThinkSecret broke the story of 3G iPods and I thought the artist rendering showed an ugly-looking iPod, but once released I thought they were actually much more beautiful than my 1G iPod, so we'll see in the coming days as I tend to keep an open ear to ThinkSecret.

Sweet. Although I wish there was a cost-effective 17" option. I hope they can get the 20" under a thousand. The question is, when? I hope they release it at the same time as the new powermacs.

Those "Artist Renditions" look an awful lot like someone traced over an existing photograph....

Apple needs some big price cuts on their displays to get them screaming out the doors and into the hands of consumers, not bigger displays. It would be best to have both....obviously, that's not going to happen. The old displays will be bought/sold on eBay and the new displays will look better and still be overpriced (in comparison with almost any other TFT monitor you find in MacMall etc.).

Great news (rumor)

Glad to see DVI...much cheaper

Shame that the 30" only works with G5PM...

Looking forward to the optomistic price point. Now if only Apple had a cheap Digital tuner accessory...
