The Apple 30-Inch Cinema Display (Aluminum), designed to aesthetically complement the previously introduced Power Macintosh G5 and PowerBook G4 models, features a 30-inch (29.7 inch viewable) wide-format (2560x1600) active-matrix LCD display and dual FireWire "400" and dual USB 2.0 ports.
It is housed in an "aluminum design with a very thin bezel, suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that makes tilting the display almost effortless", and supports the "Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mounting interface standard" which makes it easy to mount this display on a kiosk, wall, or articulating arm.
This model uses the industry standard DVI (Digital Video Interface) and requires a Mac or Windows PC equipped with a dual-link DVI port.
