- Apple Introduces Mainstream 14" Color Display
-
- CUPERTINO, California-October 19, 1992-Apple Computer, Inc. today
- introduced a low-cost, high-resolution Macintosh Color Display designed
- to complement the sophisticated color and graphics capabilities of the
- Macintosh computer family. The new display offers increased brightness,
- advanced ergonomic features, and is affordably priced at U.S. SRP $589.
- "With this display, customers not only get a higher quality screen
- and better ergonomics, but it also helps lower the overall cost of
- modular Macintosh systems," said John Moon, Apple's vice president of
- imaging products. "We believe this will make Macintosh computers even
- more appealing to customers who need an affordable system."
- The new Macintosh Color Display improves on the high quality of its
- predecessor, the award-winning AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor,
- while retaining all of its best features. An advanced 14-inch Sony
- Trinitron picture tube, combined with re-engineered circuitry, provides
- high definition, sharp focus, and virtually none of the distortion
- common in other displays in its class. It features 640 horizontal and
- 480 vertical pixels for a full-page width by half-page length viewable
- area. At 70 dots-per-inch, it provides lines that are straighter, edges
- that are sharper, and images that are clearer than other displays in
- this price range.
- Apple has also designed this display with advanced ergonomic
- features. These include a built-in tilt and swivel stand that lets
- users adjust the display to the most comfortable viewing angle-a feature
- that meets ISO international requirements for tilt/swivel adjustability.
- It has brightness, contrast, and power controls that are located on the
- front panel so they can be reached easily and a low center of gravity to
- give it greater stability.
- Another notable feature of this display is its compliance with the
- SWEDAC MPR-2 recommendations for ELF and VLF emissions. In addition, it
- requires less power to operate-32% less than Apple's previous 13" monitor
- and over 40% less than many other competitive displays.
- The Macintosh Color Display is supported by the on-board video of all
- Macintosh computers from the Macintosh LC to the Macintosh IIvx (16 colors
- on the Macintosh LC, 256 colors on the Macintosh IIsi to the new Macintosh
- IIvx, and 16.7 million colors on the Macintosh Quadra computers).
- Apple expects the new monitor to be the most popular display for
- purchasers of Apple's mid-range Macintosh computers.
-
- Pricing and Distribution
- The Macintosh Color Display will be available worldwide through
- authorized Apple resellers on October 19, 1992. In the U.S., its
- suggested retail price will be $589. (Pricing will vary outside theĀ U.S.)
