See the bigger picture with Apple's enormous 27" Cinema Display. A multitasker's delight, the extra large screen provides plenty of room to work and play. Plus, it's easy on the eyes -- in more ways than one.

Apple's biggest idea yet

There are ample reasons for investing in Apple's 27" Cinema Display monitor: it provides twice the area to maneuver multiple open windows, it has unencumbered 178° viewing angles, 2560 x 1440 resolution handles even the most robust graphics (and provides 60% more pixels than the 24" display), LED backlighting provides an instant-on and uniformly bright display, the smooth-motion hinge makes monitor adjustment effortless, plus it comes with three USB ports, an iSight camera and mic, and an ambient light sensor that offers the perfect amount of brightness for every situation (without wasting energy).

The real top ten reasons why you want to buy Apple's biggest display

(2) It matches your MacBook Pro
(1) It gives you a genuine excuse for putting your feet up on your desk

Funny thing about Apple . . .

In case you think I'm merely being flip in an Eddie Haskell sort of way, well I am, but not at the cost of your intelligence. If you've ever experienced the beauty of an Apple display, then you know that its beauty is almost eclipsed by its ingenious features like a MagSafe connector that charges your Mac hard drive device as you work, or the three USB ports that charges your USB-driven devices, or even something as simple as the 2.1 speaker system with an integrated subwoofer that delivers full-range sound. Oh yeah, the Cinema Display is compatible with every new Mac made.
