Kevin’s Rating:I have had an Apple Cinema Display for past year and a half now, but it was a used old-generation one. As I was finishing up this summer at Apple, I still had my 25% off to use on an Apple product, and since my current cinema screen was ADC and didn’t work with my DVI MacBook Pro, I just decided to sell my cinema screen and buy a new 23″ cinema display. The display came in the mail yesterday (a few days early I will add), so I set it up pretty much immediately.Upon first comparing it with my old cinema, the size seemed smaller, but that was only illusion since the 1.5″ border around the old cinema makes it look much larger than it is. The new one is much sleeker, and of course, it’s made out of aluminum like my laptop, so they go well together. The new cinema has much better color and brightness, and I love the FireWire and powered USB ports on the back. It has a power brick, but oh well. The only critique I have for it is that the arm that holds it up is not as stable as the arms for the old cinema screens. So if you bump the desk or tap on it hard, you can see the monitor just shake a little. It’s small enough where it’s not occurring a lot, but when it does, you have to wait a second for it to stop if you don’t want to get a headache.Overall, I am so far very satisfied with the new cinema, and am looking forward to watching a movie on it in Room 1101 at Bromley Hall!
