All Cinema Display Models | Download: PDF Manual
Formally dubbed the Apple Cinema HD (High Definition) Display , it features a 23-inch "letterbox" format (1920x1200) active-matrix LCD display and an integrated two-port USB hub in a "crystal clear" enclosure.
As the "HD" in the name implies, this monitor was designed to allow users to "author HDTV content in its native resolution" as well as "view a full 11-inch by 17-inch two-page spread".
This model uses an ADC (Apple Display Connector), which carries analog and digital video signals, USB data, and power in the same cable and requires a Mac with an ADC connection and a video card with 32 MB or more of video memory.
