Talk:Apple Cinema Display

message: 2.1 would imply that the monitor includes a subwoofer or some other limited range speaker, I don't believe this to be the case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.149.178.49 (talk) 19:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I have added a "citation needed" in the claim that "at the moment the Dell is generally recommended over the cinema display because of it's much newer panel". Who is the Dell generally recommended by? Any links to sources?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.4.249 (talk) 06:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Generally recommended" 

message: The Apple Cinema Display that I have has a lighed power touch-point on the lower-right corner, and a settings touch-point on the lower-left corner of the frame, plus USB ports on the back.  This is an older ADC model, 23", I think.  (I'm not at home at the moment, and this is a hand-me-down.)  The article makes no mention of these for the ADC connected models, though I assume that it's common to those.

thread_title:  Power and Settings controls 

message: I would like to point out that the standard Apple Cinema Display has not been officially discontinued by Apple. Rather, it has become it's legacy hardware.

thread_title:  Discontinued? 

message: The text states " It is the first Cinema Display to use LED backlighting and Mini DisplayPort for video input; however, the LED backlighting is edge-lit as opposed to the fully back-lit CCFL of the previous models, resulting in a lower brightness cd/m2 output. "
But the data in the tables contradicts that claim. The LED backlighting is brighter.

thread_title:  Brightness of LED displays 

message: The article states that "On August 7, 2006 the Aluminium Cinema displays had a silent upgrade that boosted the brightness and contrast ratios to 300/400 cd/m2 and 700:1." However, there seems to be no source for this. Conversely, Apple (as retrieved via the Wayback Machine) and ArsTechnica both suggest that the 30" was updated to 400 cd/m2 and 700:1 some months earlier.

Only the 20" and 23" seem to have been updated in August.

thread_title:  Brightness and contrast ratio updates 

message: There was a 2005/2006 revision of the aluminum model, after the original 2004 was released. It had greater brightness and viewing angles.
I first gleaned this information  from Apple's own serial number warranty checker, and then cross-corroborated it with macrumors forums, apple discussions, and MacTracker. However, I believe these are all unreliable sources (WP:RS)
I want to put this info in the article, but I forbid myself from doing so because I cannot find any reliable sources for this. Help would be appreciated. ❤ 96.227.223.203 (talk) 02:41, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
