Apple 30-Inch Cinema HD

Apple 30-Inch Cinema HD

Apple really needs no introduction when it comes to working with big resolutions. This is the current king of LCDs at 30 inches. Its huge size gives it an unequaled working resolution of 2560x1600, with a contrast ratio of 700:1 and a response time of 14ms. An interesting point to note in this monitor, for anyone to work on its native resolution, is that you will need a dual-link DVI card. Without it, the monitor cannot achieve its native resolution.

Another salient feature of this LCD is the fact that despite its size, playing games or watching movies on lower resolutions is actually possible as the monitor offers a wide variety of widescreen resolutions to work with from 1024x640 upwards. In terms of connectivity options, it offers two USB 2.0 hubs, two Firewire ports and a Kensington security port. Priced at Rs. 1,35,000 this monitor is truly for the well-heeled enthusiast.
