Apple kills 20-inch Cinema Display

Iria · Feb 20, 2009, 02:15 AM

It's official. As of today, the 20-inch Cinema Display is no more, reducing Apple's display lineup to the 30-inch model (that works with all Macs) and the recently introduced 24-inch LED-backlit Cinema Display featuring a DisplayPort interconnect and works only with unibody MacBooks. Whether the product's removal is the sign of hardware refresh that will transition 20-inch models to DisplayPort or, as some think, indication of a new 28-inch Cinema Display that would nicely complement previous rumors of the new top-of-the-line 28" iMac model, remains to be seen. All we know is that Apple told its partners that the 20-inch model has reached end-of-life status, effective immediately -- adding that all backlog will be canceled.

that's a surprise, but I guess those in the market for 20" display were going for cheaper options...

I wish the LED monitors would work on other computers... its a stupid choice

if someone comes out with a DVI to Mini-Display Port then there should be no problem, but until then...

I think all Displays that use either display port as a option or only display port should have a HDMI port right beside it at the very least...

imo

the cost of doing it would be exceptionally low since it's so close in it's overall design.
