Back in October Steve Jobs, the Apple Inc. CEO announced a new 24″ LED Cinema Display would go on sale in November. Well, that time has arrived and the display is now available to purchase. With a screen resolution of 1,900 x 1,200, built in iSight camera and mic, 3 USB ports, integrated speakers, DisplayPort and a MagSafe adapter, Christmas has come early for many Apple fans out there.

Retailing at £649 this monitor is slightly out of my budget at the moment. Not having a MacBook doesn’t help things I suppose, but the MacBook situation might change in January depending on the announcements during MacWorld 2009 (I hear that there are new iMacs on the way).

A large display is a necessity these days if you’re in to design. Personally I would benefit from this display to aid me with my 3D Design work, which I’m currently doing on an extra monitor I’ve hooked up to the laptop. It just makes things easier, trust me. Having struggled in the past with a tiny 15″ monitor, going up to a 17″ was a dream. Going from a 17″ to a 24″ would be even better.

But alas, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t have the hardware yet to justify this display. Being the good blogger that I am, I thought it was worth mentioning that the 24″ LED Cinema Display was now available for purchase.

The new 24″LED Cinema Display has a new connecting cable which allows you to plug straight in to your MacBook with ease. Sporting a MagSafe connector, USB Plug and the new DisplayPort connector means that you only have to have the display plugged in. The cables all connect up to your new MacBook and allow you to charge it via the MagSafe connector.

This is the reason so many people love Apple products. They’re beautiful and easy to use. Roll on January.
