Apple 20 Inch Cinema Display
The widescreen design of the Apple Cinema Display line offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them -- longer wide than high.

Cinema HD Display, provides the exact resolution to display widescreen High Definition material.

This painstaking attention to detail moves the industry forward and gives you best LCD technology available.
