Apple LED Cinema Display (27-inch, 2010) price range: $929.00 - $999.00
- Reviewed by: Eric Franklin

The good: The Apple LED Cinema Display's high resolution and screen coating gives it not only great performance in movies and games, but also in everyday tasks. The monitor works seamlessly when connected to a recent model MacBook, and provides a charging station and three USB ports. And it just looks really slick on a desktop.
The bad: Thanks to Apple's decision to only include a Mini DisplayPort connection, the LED Cinema Display can only be used with Macs from late 2008 and on. Also, the display lacks ergonomic features and more-granular customization options. Some users will not appreciate the overly reflective and glossy screen.
The bottom line: As a desktop display and USB extender, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display works wonderfully; however, for $1,000, there are better monitors that offer more options, including PC and Mac compatibility.
Let's get right to it. If you're considering purchasing the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display, know that you'll need a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort connection in order to use it. If you only own a PC or older Mac, you're out of luck.
Not that the display's aesthetic appeal and fantastic performance won't inspire some to make the plunge right into a new Mac. Movies and games look great on the display, but what impressed us more was the way it handled fonts. Thanks to its glossy screen coating, fonts have a smoothness we've rarely seen, which makes doing everyday tasks almost as appealing as watching a movie. Almost. Also, the display works nearly seamlessly with our compatible MacBook Pro, including a MagSafe connector that charges the laptop as long as the monitor is plugged in.
Unfortunately, the same glossy coating that provides smooth fonts is also highly reflective. And don't plan on adjusting the display beyond tilting it back 10 degrees, as no other ergonomic option exists.
So $1,000 is a tough pill to swallow for a display with such a focused intended use, especially with the availability of other monitors like the Dell UltraSharp U2711, which has slightly better performance and is only $100 more. Unless you find some kind of adapter, though, you likely won't be connecting it to your MacBook.
PC users will obviously want to steer clear of the 27-inch LED Cinema Display; Mac desktop users would be better served with the Dell and its numerous customization and ergonomic options. MacBook Pro users willing to pay the price won't be disappointed with the LED Cinema Display's performance and synergy with their laptop of choice.
Design and features
Design-wise, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display is, for all intents and purposes, a larger version of the 24-inch LED Cinema Display the company released in 2008, with a few changes. Those changes include an obviously larger screen, a much higher 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution, and an ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness depending on the amount of (you guessed it) ambient light in the room. Other extras found on the 24-inch model are retained here, including a built-in camera and microphone, built-in 2.1 speakers, and three USB ports located on the lower back left.
The monitor's chassis, including the back of the monitor and its foot stand, is the same smooth metallic gray seen on the 24-inch LED Cinema Display and Apple's Macbook Pros. The panel is 2.25 inches in full depth and about 25.6 inches wide, making it as wide as the 27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2711, although about 1.2 inches shallower. The bezel, flush with the screen, is 1.1 inches wide on the right and left sides, and the distance from the bottom of the bezel to the desktop is 3.6 inches. The foot stand is 7.4 inches wide, 8.2 inches deep, and the monitor hardly moved when we knocked it from the sides. This is in part thanks to the flatness and width of the foot stand, but also the display's heavy 24-pound weight.
If you own a MacBook from late 2008 or later, you'll be able to connect the 27-inch LED Cinema Display to your computer via Mini DisplayPort, otherwise, um, no. Like the previous 24-inch monitor, Apple refuses to offer DVI support for PCs and owners of older Macs.
The display includes a 10-degree back tilt as its sole ergonomic option, with no screen-height adjustment, pivoting, or swivel offered.
Calibration options in OS X include brightness, color temperature, gamma, and contrast controls. The interface for the latter can only be accessed by turning on expert mode from the Display Calibrator Assistant.

Performance
DisplayMate Performance: We tested the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display through its Mini DisplayPort input, connected to a MacBook Pro running both Snow Leopard and Windows 7. The display posted a composite score of 97 on CNET Labs' DisplayMate-based performance tests--only 1 point lower than the Dell UltraSharp U2711.The display excelled at nearly every DisplayMate test we threw at it, achieving performance as good or sometimes better than the U2711. The only glaring performance problem we noticed was in our High Contrast Streaking and Ghosting test. This tests a display's ability to accurately display an image when large changes in contrast are present, such as a bar graph. We saw very apparent ghosting in the bottom level of this test screen; however, it should be noted that we didn't see evidence of this during real-world usage.
Text: In text, we saw no color problems with black text on a white background. Fonts were visible down to a 6.8-point size, and thanks to the screen coating on the monitor, the fonts have a smoothness unmatched by the Dell UltraSharp U2711.
Movies: We tested the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display using the Blu-ray version of "Avatar." Movies had an impressively low black level and no noticeable color tint problems. Colors were accurate without looking drab.
Games: Because of our intimate familiarity with World of Warcraft (WoW), it remains the best tool for judging color quality and vibrancy in games. WoW had a vibrancy and level of color saturation seen only on a few monitors before, for example the Dell UltraSharp U2711 and Samsung PX2370.
Sound: The built-in 2.1 speakers deliver powerful, deep, bassy sound that excelled when playing music and action scenes in movies and games; dialogue was easy to hear as well.
Viewing angle: The optimal viewing angle for a monitor is usually directly in front, about a quarter of the screen's distance down from the top. At this angle, you're viewing the colors as the manufacturer intended them. Most monitors are not made to be viewed at any other angle. Depending on its panel type, picture quality at nonoptimal angles varies. Most monitors use TN panels, which get overly bright or overly dark in parts of the screen when they are not viewed from optimal angles. On the other hand, IPS panels usually show only minimal color shifts with angle changes. The 27-inch LED Cinema Display has an H-IPS panel, and when it's viewed from the sides, we perceived the screen to darken about 15 inches off from center, which is more than twice as wide of a viewing angle as a typical TN panel has.
Recommended settings and use: The 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display was designed as a large screen, specifically for your Apple MacBook or desktop. It isn't intended to function with a PC, and without some sort of adapter, will not do so. As such, the display works wonderfully with a MacBook, extending its USB slots by three and even removing the need to ever plug in the MacBook via its own power cord at home. As long as the display is plugged in, and its power prong plugged into the MacBook, your MacBook battery will be charged.
A MacBook also fits very neatly under the monitor when the lid is closed; however, with the lid open, it is a bit awkward to look over your MacBook lid to see the bottom of your monitor screen. This is where screen height adjustment would have been useful. This almost necessitates the need of an external keyboard.
We preferred the default display settings for most tasks with a few exceptions. In both OSes, movies looked best with the brightness turned down to about 38 percent. In Windows 7, taking the contrast down to about the same level worked best as well. In OS X, using the Display Calibrator Assistant, adjusting each of the five vertical sliders to about the same level (about an eight of an inch below the midpoint) was the best contrast level for movies.
The Apple LED Cinema Display's H-IPS screen offers some of the most accurate color we've seen, and its screen coating means images have smoothness unmatched by the Dell UltraSharp U2711. Graphic designers working on Mac (as most of you do) will be pleased with the monitor's default performance, but may be dissatisfied with the lack of detailed screen-customization options. The options offered in the Display Calibrator Assistant are useful, but they may not be granular enough for serious designers.
Power consumption: Editors' note: All power consumption tests were conducted while not charging a MacBook.
The 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display achieved poor power consumption, with a Default/On power draw of 93.07 watts, compared with the Dell UltraSharp U2711's 93.72 watts in the same test. In our Sleep/Standby test, the Apple monitor draws 2.9 watts when running Windows 7 and 23.94 watts running Snow Leopard; however, when we completely unplugged the display from the MacBook, it drew only 1.2 watts in Snow Leopard. The U2711 had a 1.19-watt draw in the same test. With both monitors' center point calibrated to 200 candelas per square meter (cd/M2), the Apple monitor drew 59.8 watts, whereas the U2711 drew a much higher 81.8 watts; this indicates that per cd/m2, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display draws less power than the Dell UltraSharp U2711. Based on our formula, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display would cost $43.82 per year if running Snow Leopard and $29.78 while running in Windows 7. If somehow you completely unplugged your MacBook from the display every time it went into sleep mode, you're looking at a yearly price of $28.60. This is compared with the Dell UltraSharp U2711's $28.78 per year.

Service and support
Nearly two years since the release of the 24-inch LED Cinema Display, Apple continues with its frustratingly strange customer support, that, since we've become so accustomed to it, isn't all that strange anymore. It backs the 27-inch LED Cinema Display with a one-year limited warranty that covers the backlight, but only includes 90 days of toll-free telephone support. With the purchase of a $249 AppleCare package, the warranty is extended to three years from the date of purchase, which seems almost like a necessity given the proprietary nature of the display.

Perfect Monitor!
by M4Hawkins on March 18, 2012
Pros: + The monitor is beautiful. Great contrast, dark shadows, great colors.
+ LED backlighting saves power vs CCFL lit LCD displays
+ Decent sounding built in speakers
+ No dead pixels or dreaded "yellow tinting" that plagued iMac still to dateCons: - Height of the stand is not adjustable

Summary: I'm currently using my Cinema display monitor on my PC with dual AMD HD6970 gpus. I had to upgrade from my old 5xxx series gpus since they didn't have mini display ports built in. I tried to use all the dvi adapters I could find, but the older AMD video cards wouldn't support the dvi adapters either. Ultimately, for the extra cost of the adapters ($99-$149), it was well worth just upgrading to a newer video card and selling the old ones. I believe all AMD 6xxx series and newer cards will have mini-display port standard. I don't have an Nvidia card so I can't comment on those, but I believe most will have display port and you just need the standard to mini adapter for fairly cheap.
The monitor simply plugs into the mini-display port on my first video card and into a usb drive. A 2nd wire plugs into the wall for power. The monitor works perfectly in Windows 7 x64. The camera, microphone, and speakers work right out of the box with no fiddling or software to install. The only catch is you have to have a mac product to adjust the brightness or light sensing. I just had a friend come over with his macbook, so we could set the brightness to where I wanted and turned off the light sensor. The monitor remembers the settings even after being unplugged.
Display:
The monitor is beautiful. Great contrast, dark shadows, great colors. I can't really detect any ghosting or lag. My friend said he can sense just a little bit of ghosting on battlefield 3. But he said it was very minimal and prob the best he had seen on a large non gaming monitor. The monitor is affected by glare, so keep that in mind in a bright room. It also shows spots and dirt fairly easily, but is very simple to clean. Love the resolution, no more need to run dual monitors to run apps, browsers, and spreadsheet at the same time anymore.
Camera:
It works. Looks fine, but doesn't have any way of adjusting zoom, pan or anything like that on a PC. Not sure if that's available in mac os. The device manager will show that the camera isn't working right, but ignore it. Its just looking for a driver that doesn't exist, the default windows driver works fine.
Microphone:
Might be a little too good. I has a range that it picks up very well and can be a bit loud to people on the other end. A spoon clanking a bowl or a microwave beep comes across very loud, even from my kitchen on a different floor of the house. Had people tell me "bless you" when my wife sneezed from our bedroom on the 3rd floor.
Speakers:
I'm a speaker snob. I've gone through a lot of desktop computer speakers and I pretty much hate em all. The monitor doesn't sound great by any means... but it sounds decent, and it doesn't take any space. No ugly boxes or clutter of wires. It was one of the strongest points for this monitor. If I want better sound I just use my headphone/amp/dac setup. Media controls and volume DO work. Both the sound slider on the os and the volume knob and media buttons on my keyboard. It worked fine with my logitech slim, my ms sidewinder and a generic usb keyboard.
Construction:
Top notch. It's built like a tank, looks professional and stylish. You'll never see any other monitor in a home decor or style magazine for good reason. Doesn't wobble, very sturdy, plugs are all very secure. Unfortunately there is no height adjustment and the monitor doesn't rotate, you just turn the whole thing.
Summary:
I love this monitor. It looks great on or off. It gave me back a ton of desktop space (from multiple monitors + speakers + wires) and just works flawlessly in everything it's supposed to do. People complaining about price don't really have any other choice. A good accurate 27" monitor + speakers + mic + camera + usb hub doesn't exist except here. You will spend more piecing it out with other hardware and trying to be on the same level of performance and it will look like crap.
FYI, I have my monitor connected to some 6 foot extension wires to reach a computer in the adjacent room. There have been no problems running mini-dp, usb, and power through the extra long wires.

Kickass display but watchout...
by soupgfx on October 11, 2010
Pros: Color and Picture Quality is Top-Notch! Probably the best looking monitor on the market.
Cons: Connection cable is mini-display port only. Connection cord is very, very short. If going for dual monitors on a mac pro you will need to buy a cord extender. Glare sucks. Cost sucks.
Summary: We bought two of these for a new graphic design work station for our design studio. New macpro, (2) new 27" cinema displays. Ultimate work station, you would think??? But ...
Summary: We bought two of these for a new graphic design work station for our design studio. New macpro, (2) new 27" cinema displays. Ultimate work station, you would think??? But no, it's funny how Apple nickel and dimes you know to get what used to be free.
When trying to put the two monitors together on a desk, one of the monitors cords will be too short to reach the back of the computer. Even then, you will have to fork out another $150 to get the dual monitor setup to work. You will also need to buy a monitor cable extender, so that you can put the monitors next to each other. Pretty rediculous...
So if you are looking to buy two of these monitors and hook them up to a new mac pro, you WILL be spending more than just the purchase price of the monitors.
The monitors look great. The glare sucks. The monitor cost sucks. The extra accessories you will need to buy, sucks. I do believe Apple made this monitor to work with their laptop only. Pretty sad to think that they are putting their workhorse computers on the back burner to their ipods and apple tv products.5 out of 6 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: In Eric's defense, adapter dongles DO NOT reflect connection options native to the panel. Apple would have been smart to include an HDMI in, making it a perfect partner with it's own Apple TV (more importantly a BluRay player/Xbox360/PS3...etc). Citing 3rd party dongles as product features is ridiculous....should we rate cars on how they "could" perform if we upgraded them. No. Stop being such a Fan Boy troll and complaining about Eric's contemplative and fair review.
PS: If a screen filter merits contrast enhancement through keeping white background from wrapping text...it does help.4 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Outstanding monitor! WORKS w/ PC with display ports
by Mgman715 on December 23, 2011
Pros: I have purchased 5 27" monitors before I settled for the best. I am using this on my HP Pavilion with an XFX Radeon HD Video Card that has Mini Display Ports. All settings on the monitor were done on a new Mac book at the Apple store before hook up.
Cons: Price...which I found if you want true,rich colors, great contrast, true Blacks and the highest resolution, you have to spend more than the typical monitor.

Summary: I have not put this side by side to the Dell 27", but from what I read, they are very close in quality and price. When I updated my HP desktop with the new video card, I noticed a big difference over the on board graphics card. With the mini Display ports, the ACD will plug into the card and work perfectly. Since you cannot adjust the settings from your PC on the Apple monitor, I did it at the Apple store before bringing it home by using a new Mac Book laptop with display ports that was on display. Settings ( brightness actually is all that needs to be set) can be made by mirroring the laptop display setting for the monitor, which once set, you don't need to adjust them again as the monitor memorizes the settings and were even more vibrant once set up at home. Once hooked up the PC, the picture was nothing like I have seen over a Windows PC Monitor. ( again, the Dell 27" is supposed to be comparable). Resolution is outstanding at the 2560 x 1440 with no ghosting or shadows. I actually run it at the 1600 x 900 so the print isn't so small, which still presents excellent graphics at the lower resolution. This is about the best for Gaming, video editing or playback of high def movies. Very pleased I made the purchase and Apple is probably the best for customer service if ever needed. I would recommend for any Mac user or any PC user that has a video card with display ports.
PS.. one other CON..the power cord is fine but the USB/Mini Display cables are only 3 ft long. Had to buy an extension cable for them to reach the PC.

excellent for Photoshop and movies; text very small

Pros: high density ppi makes images very smooth and photo-like;
lots of real estate, less need to use SpacesCons: high density ppi makes text a little too tiny for my over 50 eyesight; most notable in Apple Mail;
needs a DVI plug along with the miniDP;

Summary: I have a Dell U2711 (same price) and the Apple 27" is brighter and has a better picture to my eyes for movie watching (although my viewing room is very dark so the glossy screen is not a problem -- the Dell is matte). The Dell has an advantage in that it is easy to connect to Apple or PC. The Apple miniDisplayPort has no adapters for use with a PC (I disagree with one reviewer -- the adapters commonly in stores are male miniDP but you need a female for the display). Editing photos on the Apple is a delight. Unfortunately what makes these images (photo or movies or TV) so beautiful is partly the very fine pixels per inch (ppi) has the effect of making text much smaller than what you see on the old 24" CinemaDisplay. I notice this mostly in Apple Mail where you have no control over the font size of plain text emails. All in all, I will be happy with my 27" to watch movies in my den/computer room whilst sitting in the easy chair. Not sure why Apple didn't keep the 16:10 aspect ratio of the old 30" monitor. With that you could watch TV at 16:9 full width in one window while using the residual space at bottom for display of gadgets such as a stock ticker or Growl notifications.

Summary: The price is a little less than competitors. The power efficiency is peerless, contrary to the review, which seems flat out wrong. Some ding the lack of alternate inputs; if you have display port, you don't need the $100 dual-link DVI adapter which you have to tack onto the cost of many competitors. All in all one of the best screens I've used.

Does this really work on a PC?
by Ashok0 on September 30, 2010
Pros: Excellent monitor for Apple machines.
Cons: Yes, it works on a PC with adapters or a DisplayPort capable video card but according to Anandtech brightness controls are disabled in Windows. Has anyone tried using this on a PC and is the lack of brightness controls a show stopper?

Summary: Apple fans will buy it but it has to many negatives for an enthusiast and lets face it, it is priced for that market. To many negatives for an enthusiast. To many negatives for an enthusiast market, in fact overpriced for what you get. The built in speakers are a waste unless they sould light years better than any other built in speakers I have heard.
