Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	24
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
Type of Monitor	LCD
Screen Resolution (pixels)	1920x1200 (WUXGA)
The number of pixels the screen has. The more you have, the more detail the screen can display, given a high quality source. A breakdown of resolutions can be found on Wikipedia here
Response Time in ms	14
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	1000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Brightness in Candela per square metre	330
Brighter TVs, such as LCDs, tend to provide a better experience in lighter rooms, whereas TVs with a lower brightness, such as many plasma TVs, are often better suited to darker rooms.
DVI Port	Yes
DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. Like VGA, DVI is used to connect laptops, desktops and other devices to HD TVs or monitors. You can buy a small adaptor to convert your digital DVI socket to an analogue VGA socket for use with older monitors if needed.
HDMI Interface	No
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
VGA Port	No
VGA stands for Video Graphics Array. The VGA socket is used for connecting a monitor or TV to your computer. If you want to use an external monitor, TV or projector on your laptop make sure it has a VGA or DVI socket. VGA is also sometimes referred to as D-sub.
Type of Screen	LCD
Most small flatscreen TVs have LCD screens. Some larger TVs have plasma screens. Some very new TVs have LED screens. Traditional TVs are called Standard or CRT.
Screen Format	16:10
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
Height in mm	478
Width in mm	573
Depth in mm	191
Integrated Camera	Yes
Colour	White
The main colour of the product.

Also known as: Apple 24-inch LED Cinema Display, Apple LED Cinema Display

The first display made precisely for a MacBook

Introducing the 24-inch LED Cinema Display. It doesn’t just expand the screen of your new MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. With a built-in iSight camera, mic and speakers, it expands your whole experience.

Mini DisplayPort

The LED Cinema Display connects to your new MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with the ultra-compact Mini DisplayPort connector. Other display connectors have you lining up pins or fumbling with screws. The new Mini DisplayPort connector is easy in, easy out.

MagSafe connector

The LED Cinema Display includes a MagSafe connector that powers and charges your new MacBook. The connector sits on your desk, ready and waiting. No need to unravel the cord to the power adapter that came with your notebook. Leave it exactly where it is, in your bag.

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 new MacBook. Connect a printer, camera, iPod, iPhone, whatever you like. And they can stay connected, so you can just grab your MacBook and go.

Extended desktop

When you connect your new MacBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to the LED Cinema Display, it’s like upgrading your screen to first class. The 24-inch glossy widescreen display gives your work room to move. And the 1920-by-1200 resolution gives it room to impress.

Built-in iSight, mic and speakers

The transition from on the road to back at your desk shouldn’t interfere with the flow of your work. That’s the point of the LED Cinema Display, with its built-in iSight camera, microphone and speakers. Connect your new MacBook — leaving it open or closed — and engage in video chats or listen to music just as you would if you were using a desktop computer.

The greenest Apple display ever.

Toxin free

One thing that makes the LED Cinema Display so remarkable is what it lacks. Namely, environmentally harmful mercury. And like the latest-generation iPod, iPhone and Mac computers, the glass used in the display is arsenic-free. Even the internal cables and components are BFR- and PVC-free.

Highly recyclable

Because of its glass and aluminum construction, the LED Cinema Display is highly recyclable. So when you eventually part with it, rest assured it can be remade into something new.

Energy Star

The LED Cinema Display is designed to meet the low power requirements set by the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, giving it the ENERGY STAR certification. The result is a display that reduces energy consumption and your carbon footprint.
