Siltek Distribution Dynamics (SDD), a member of the JSE-listed Siltek group of companies, has brought the Apple Cinema Display to the local graphics professional market, a 22-inch LCD flat panel with a viewing area the same size as a 24-inch CRT display.
The Cinema Display features a letterbox format with 1600 x 1024 pixels and 16,7 million true colours.
"The new display is twice as bright, twice as sharp and has three times the contrast of CRT displays, plus it has zero flicker," says Laetitia van den Berg, product manager at SDD.
The displays data is supplied digitally from Apple's new Power Mac G4 computers, and offers an integrated two-port USB hub for connection to peripherals.
"Combined with the graphics engine in the new Power Mac G4, the Cinema Display provides design and publishing professionals with an ideal system to perform the most demanding tasks," says van den Berg.
She adds: "The Apple Cinema Display, which incorporates LG.Philips LCD Company's 22-inch Active Matrix LCD, is slim in design and the display can feature two full-sized pages on the screen simultaneously-a critical feature for design and publishing professionals who demand a large virtual workspace." LG.Philips last month announced mass production of the LCD. "Note to Editor"
