Just like the 24-Inch LED Cinema Display before it, the 27-Inch LED Cinema Display was designed as an 'ideal companion' for MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models as well as desktop Macs with a Mini DisplayPort (and it is not compatible with earlier Macs). The 27-Inch Apple LED Cinema Display features a 27-inch glossy LED-backlit TFT active-matrix LCD display with IPS technology and an optimum resolution of 2560x1440. It has a 178 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle, a 'typical' brightness of 375 cd/m2, contrast ratio of 1000:1, and a 12 ms response time.
It includes three USB 2.0 ports and a convenient single cable with three connectors (Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe, and USB 2.0), a built-in iSight camera with a mic and a 2.1 speaker system.

The Apple 30-Inch Cinema Display (Aluminum), designed to aesthetically complement the previously introduced Power Macintosh G5 and PowerBook G4 models, features a 30-inch (29.7 inch viewable) wide-format (2560x1600) active-matrix LCD display and dual FireWire '400' and dual USB 2.0 ports.
It is housed in an 'aluminum design with a very thin bezel, suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that makes tilting the display almost effortless', and supports the 'Electronics Standards Association (VESA) mounting interface standard' which makes it easy to mount this display on a kiosk, wall, or articulating arm.
This model uses the industry standard DVI (Digital Video Interface) standard, rather than the earlier ADC (Apple Display Connector) port, and requires a Mac or Windows PC equipped with a dual-link DVI port (DVI-D).
