However, if you want to know how thirsty creatives are for an affordable Apple monitor, just look at on-screen product photography. Brands are mocking up their own versions of what looks like a future Apple display, rather than use an actual display. This is all due to the lackluster alternatives. Rather than use a monitor available today, these brands are mocking up monitors that could be Apple's.
Current displays are plastic, with names like VP I'd absolutely buy a reasonably priced Atomos monitor that works on a desk as well as on set. The iMac. Sporting a 24" 4. I actually considered buying a new iMac, just to use it as a display and to occasionally render out projects in the background.
In fact, no iMac has supported this since Perhaps we'll see more displays like this if Apple returns? I can only hope this sparks more competition.

I ditched my calibrated Apple monitors about 15 years ago and bought a then very expensive Eizo CG monitor. I've never looked back and the practical differences were huge between the old Mac display and the stability of the Eizo, which is still going strong and stable even now.
I'm sure Apple have got better at displays but there is nothing to compare with an Eizo. And their customer service is second to none. The only monitors I'd ever trust and they last very well. I'd wager that a good monitor is probably more important than the camera or even the lenses in a digital age.
Because if we don't know what we're looking at, then what is the point of fancy lenses or oodles of pixels. And if a good monitor can last over a decade, it is an investment that is worth it. In fact, Apple introduced its first computer monitor in , which was called the Apple Cinema Display. Over the years, Cinema Display has had several updates with different designs and sizes, and it was later renamed to Thunderbolt Display when Apple replaced the MiniDisplay Port and USB connections with a single Thunderbolt cable.
Of course, these displays had no super high-end specifications, but they were quite good and, more importantly, designed by Apple.
Not only that, but they had a front-facing camera, built-in microphone, and stereo speakers. You might argue that there are already other good third-party options available out there , and this is true.
I was looking at a suitable monitor upgrade for my Mac Mini and ideally would prefer to stay within Apple. I currently use an older inch Cinema Display silver aluminium sides , but wondered if the Thunderbolt Display would work, or perhaps the inch or inch Cinema Displays with the black bezel.
What are my best options? Mac mini, macOS Posted on Sep 14, AM. If someone I knew wanted to give me one for free or real real cheap, then I could find a place for it. But honestly, I would not go shopping for one or pay a lot for a 10 to 12 years old Display. Personally I run dual Sep 14, AM in response to den. OK, perfectly understood - taste is of course very personal!
I'm based in the UK, unfortunately there are no retailers locally so its going to be a leap of faith. Sep 14, AM. Sep 14, PM. Page content loaded.
