Apple 27 inch LED Cinema Display main features
See the bigger picture
A 27-inch widescreen display with LED backlight technology. Stunning is an understatement.
- A bigger display for your biggest ideas.
Connect your Mac with Mini DisplayPort to the LED Cinema Display for a panoramic viewing experience unlike any other. You get a huge 27-inch glossy widescreen display with a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio and an astonishing 2560x1440 resolution. With 60 per cent more pixels than the 24-inch LED Cinema Display, the 27-inch LED Cinema Display gives you even more room for all your windows and applications.
- LED backlighting. One bright idea.
Full brightness with no waiting. That’s the big advantage of LED backlight technology. Unlike most displays that take time to warm up before they reach maximum brightness, an LED-backlit display is instantly on and uniformly bright. LED backlighting also gives you greater control over screen brightness. So you can tune the LED Cinema Display to suit the ambient light in even the dimmest room.
- Stunning from every angle.
The LED Cinema Display looks great from any seat in the house, thanks to a premium display technology called in-plane switching (IPS). IPS gives you a bright picture with excellent colour consistency — even if you’re viewing the display from the side.
- 49 watts of stereo sound.
The LED Cinema Display gives you more than video — it gives you audio too. The built-in 49-watt speaker system includes an integrated subwoofer that delivers immersive, full-range sound for music, films and games.
- Built-in iSight and microphone.
With the built-in iSight camera and microphone, you can connect your Mac desktop or notebook — open or closed — and have video chats or take pictures using Photo Booth.
- Ambient light sensor.
The new ambient light sensor intelligently adjusts the brightness of the LED Cinema Display to your room environment. This gives you the perfect brightness for any situation while using the least amount of energy necessary.
- Smooth-motion hinge.
Tilt the LED Cinema Display to get the viewing angle that’s best for your work environment. With its smooth-motion hinge, adjustment is effortless. Choose an angle anywhere from -5 to 25 degrees.
Plug-and-play perfection
One cable that replaces three. Ready, set, go.
- Works with every new Mac.
You can connect your LED Cinema Display to any of the current line-up of Mac notebooks and desktop computers: MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini and Mac Pro. That’s because the LED Cinema Display uses the ultra-compact Mini DisplayPort connector. While other display connectors have you lining up pins or fumbling with screws, the Mini DisplayPort connector is easy to plug in and out. And because it carries both video and audio, there’s one less cable to worry about.
- MagSafe connector.
The LED Cinema Display includes a MagSafe connector that powers and charges your MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The connector sits on your desk, ready and waiting. No need to unwind the lead to the power adapter that came with your notebook. Leave it exactly where it is, in your bag.
- Three USB 2.0 ports.
On the back of the display, you’ll find three self-powered USB ports. You enable them — along with the built-in iSight camera, microphone and speakers — the moment you plug the USB connector into your Mac with Mini DisplayPort. Connect a printer, camera, iPod, iPhone, whatever you like. And they can stay connected — charging your iPod or iPhone — even if you grab your notebook and go, or shut down for the night.
The greenest Apple display ever
The LED Cinema Display is the most environmentally friendly display Apple has ever created.
- Free of harmful toxins.
One thing that makes the LED Cinema Display so remarkable is what it lacks. Namely, environmentally harmful mercury. And like the latest iPod, iPhone and Mac computers, the glass used in the display is arsenic-free. Even the cables and components are BFR- and PVC-free.
- Highly recyclable.
Because of its glass and aluminium construction, the LED Cinema Display is highly recyclable. So when you eventually part with it, it can be remade into something new.
- Energy efficient.
The LED Cinema Display is designed to be energy efficient straight out of the box. It uses mercury-free, energy-efficient LED backlight technology, and an ambient light sensor that dims automatically to save energy and provide more comfortable viewing in less brightly lit rooms. It also features a highly efficient power supply to minimise the power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall for the display and to charge your Mac notebook.
- EPEAT Gold and ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualification.
The LED Cinema Display meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA, giving it ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualification. ENERGY STAR 5.0 sets significantly higher efficiency limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the display’s typical annual power consumption. In addition, it has earned EPEAT Gold status for its responsible manufacture, energy efficiency and recyclability.
