Color images are still beautiful, and grayscale images have no moir patterns.
Image quality is always best when set to the native resolution, but in this case, the other settings actually cause images to appear somewhat distorted. Unlike the original 17-inch Studio Display, the new model features a true flat CRT, which is easier on the eye. The new 17-inch CRT also has a striking new design that makes it look like something from the 1950's or something engineered by Disney's Imagineers. It now has a translucent back end, identical to that of a new iMac, which allows you to see the innards of the monitor. The ADC carries the video signal, USB, and power from your computer to the monitor.
