Mac Forum / General / General / December 2007Is the apple cinema displays an over hyped lcd monitor?
Are the Apple cinema display's over hyped lcd monitors? I've been thinking of buying a new monitor since I've been using a 19 inch samsung 955df crt monitor for several years, and I am tired of the wear on my eyes. My friend who happens to have a lcd tells me all lcd's were designed to have less flicker and hence are less painful on your eyes, is this true? Is it worth it getting an Apple 20 inch cinema display lcd or are all lcd's the same? > Are the Apple cinema display's over hyped lcd monitors?

Not so much that they're "designed to" flicker less as it's a side-effect of the technology used. You're not waiting for a single beam of energy to scan back and forth top to bottom over the whole screen. > Is it worth it getting an Apple 20 inch cinema display lcd or are all > lcd's the same? Not all LCDs are the same, but any reputable vendor should publish the specs on their displays. Apple's for the most part tend to be of high quality and offer ancillary features that are rare among other vendors. If those features are useful to you, paying more for Apple equipment *may* make sense. My wife bought and uses an Apple display without regret. The same-size LCD I'm looking at says "Dell" at the bottom, and I'm similarly without regret. >> Are the Apple cinema display's over hyped lcd monitors?
