In Apple ’s revamp of its video display furrow , it did out with the wide , translucent cases , the proprietary ADC connection , and the under-$1,000 , 17 - in modeling . The new line come in three sizes—20 - inch , 23 - in and a huge 30 - inch framework . Each model have a spacious - screen display with a slim aluminum bezel and uses a stock DVI connector . We late got a look at the Modern 20 - column inch model and we like what we saw .
The first thing you ’ll notice when look at the Apple 20 - in exhibit next to other 20 - inch displays is its different shape . Apple ’s widescreen design is both spacious and scant than most 20 - in liquid crystal display . 20 - inch monitors typically exhibit 1,600 horizontal pel and 1,200 vertical pixels . The widescreen plan of the Apple monitor lizard allows for an extra 80 horizontal pixels , but 120 fewer vertical pixels . This is a great format for watching widescreen motion-picture show or for keeping app pallet open next to your document .
Also , though Apple has switched from its proprietary , all - in - one ADC connector to a standard DVI connexion , this display still helps lessen desktop cable clutter . One closing of the new cable is for good attached to the back of the video display , and the other final stage splits off four ways to connect to an external power brick , the DVI connection on your Mac , one USB and one FireWire 400 port on the back of your computer . It ’s not quite as refined as the old ADC - free-base purpose , but because this video display uses standard connection , PowerBook as well as personal computer users can use the display without buy an expensive adapter .
