PC Compatibility

Apple flat-panel displays support the DVI standard and can therefore be seamlessly

connected to a PC, without the need for an adapter. PC users can control the bright-

ness of Apple LCDs using touch buttons on the side of the display.

The Apple display line also supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard,

allowing the displays to communicate their capabilities, such as the native resolution

and refresh rates, to a graphics card in the PC. If the graphics card supports the full

single-link or dual-link digital signal bandwidth required by Apple flat-panel displays,

the PC’s graphics subsystem will configure itself to work correctly with the display.

The 20- and 23-inch Apple displays require a single-link DVI connection, and the

30-inch Apple display requires a dual-link DVI connection.

Stunning Design

In addition to providing outstanding visual performance, Apple displays are designed

to be works of art. The elegant new bezel design coordinates with the aluminum

enclosures of the Power Mac G5 and PowerBook G4, providing a stunning visual com-

bination. The ultrathin bezel has an exceptionally narrow border that makes multiple

displays fit together seamlessly for greater visual efficiency and productivity. Not only

are the displays stunning to look at, but their design allows your eyes to focus on the

screen rather than the enclosure. In addition, the color of the bezel has been carefully

chosen to minimize interference with color appearing on the screen, providing a

neutral reference point for viewing colors.

Adjustable hinge

Another important design feature is the unique smooth-motion hinge, which requires

very little pressure to tilt the monitor to a different position. This design allows you to

effortlessly adjust the display so you view it at a downward angle, a position that puts

less strain on your eyes and neck.

Kensington security

The Kensington security port on the Apple displays allows you to secure the display

using a Kensington locking mechanism. Because the port is located on the display

itself, the lock can be used with the display stand provided or with an alternate

mounting solution.
