Reports issued by Apple on July 27 revealed that, not only had Apple updated two of its popular desktop Macs, but also introduced a new Cinema Display, boasting a 27-inch LED screen with a 2560 x 1440 resolution, an ambient light sensor, and the same in-plane switching technology found on the iMac, the iPhone 4, and the iPad.
The report entitled “Apple Unveils New 27-inch LED Cinema Display” revealed that Apple had scheduled shipping for September.
“With built-in MagSafe charging, iSight camera, speakers, and USB ports, the LED Cinema Display is ideal for MacBook and MacBook Pro users,”said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, at the time of the announcement.
