Introduced in October 2008, the Apple LED Cinema Display is a 24" LED backlit computer monitor. Featuring a limited number of inputs - namely DisplayPort and USB - the LED Cinema Display includes a built in USB hub and iSight camera, microphone and speakers. While the display is truly stunning with its cutting edge backlighting, luxurious panel and enclosure design - it is limited by its average size, price and connectivity.This is due to the fact that it is precisely designed to be used with a MacBook only. Featuring the precise digital I/O supported by the device, the LED Cinema Display also features a MagSafe connector to charge your laptop without requiring you to plug in to the power bar or wall socket yourself.
