It’s been a while (10/14/08) since Apple first announced the next version of the Cinema Display but with the display now shipping, unboxing pics have surfaced. The LED-powered display looks just like it did when we first peeped it way back on October 14. The display hasn’t revealed any unannounced features but the lack of a power brick is a welcomed surprise. AppleInsider also notes that the pixels aren’t arranged in the iMac’s side-by-side layout but rather employs a diagonal pattern that’s visible when viewed closely. Overall though, it seems like it’s lived up to the Cinema Display pedigree. Full reviews are sure to roll in shortly.
