Summary
This one was unexpected. A friend loaned me an Apple 20-inch Cinema Display widescreen monitor to get my opinions regarding its image quality. After just one night with the monitor, I gave him my verdict: gorgeous. However, there’s more to it than...

Bottom Line
Greatly improved Apple Cinema LCD to compliment your matching new G5.
There are a few amount of controls because you shouldn't need them. If you buy this quality monitor (very good price) you should NEVER use VGA as it is an analog signal. Use DVI because it is digital and needs only brightness...
