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 the U.S.)
