The graphic card for the 30" Cinema display is a GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL !
Apple has stopped using the ADC connector, and a unique cable extending from the back of the display carries :
- video
- USB2
- Firewire 400 (only, we would have prefer FW800!)
- Power
the 30" Cinema display will be available only from August.
Price for Europe:
- 20": 1519€
- 23": 2339,01€
- 30": 3.859,00€ + the price of a GeForce6800 ultra: 689€TTC.
[Update]
Additional details regarding the new displays:
- a magnetic mounting solution for fixing the iSight on the new display will be available from this summer (available on the AppleStore or included with the iSight starting this summer...when does summer start for Apple???)
- if the 30" Cinema display will be available only in August, the 2 other models (20" and 23") will be available in 2 to 4 weeks.
- At the opposite to what has been written on different web site (including on Hardmac.com), it is not necessary to have 2 DVI plug to control a 30" display, but one particular DVI plug including 2 channels: Dual-Link DVI. This card includes 2 of those DVI connectors!!, so you can connect two 30" Cinema display!!
- response time is 16ms, and the contrast is 400:1 (vs. 350:1 for the old 20" , for info, it is 600:1 for the Formac 20" display)
- visible angle remains unchanged with 170°
- it is possible to fix your display on a wall thanks to an optional adaptor
