http://www.thinksecret.com/news/newdisplays.htmlJune 8, 2004 - Exclusive Apple is on the verge of announcing a new, totally re-designed family of three flat-panel displays with the addition of a 30-inch HD-ready model. In what appears to be a major change in direction for Apple, the displays will exclusively use a digital visual interface (DVI) connector and will not come with Apple's proprietary Apple Display Connector (ADC).
Sources have confirmed the three new thin film transistor (TFT) active-matrix liquid crystal displays will be available in 20-inch, 23-inch and 30-inch sizes. The 20-inch model will have a maximum resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels with a viewable area of 20.1 inches. The 23-inch, HD-ready model will have a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels with a viewable area of 23.0 inches. The 30-inch, HD-ready model will have a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels with a viewable area of 29.7 inches.

The new 30-inch display will present some interesting possibilities in an entertainment environment that could spell a new direction for Apple in the living room. Together with Monday's announcement of AirPort Express, Apple could see the 30-inch display as its foray into home entertainment systems, although the company is expected to immediately play up the display's use in graphics and video production environments.
