First non-Apple mini DisplayPort monitors




Apple is not the only company capable of crafting products with meticulous attention to design, engineering, and quality. For evidence, we present the 2009 line of CinemaView LCD displays.

State of the art LCD panels surrounded by precision high pressure diecast Aluminum and optically pure glass. Native Mini Displayport connection to your Mac (no ugly adapters needed). Three port USB 2.0 powered hub. Passthrough stereo audio. All beautifully integrated into a single cable to your Mac.




One of the best features of Apple computers and gadgets have to be the displays. They are so clear and crisp it makes you just love working with them. The trouble is that they can be a tad on the expensive side, if you know what I mean.

Apples latest innovation with the new mini Displayport plug. This makes the monitor cables slimmer and easier to manage. Probably the most important benefit from Apples point of view is that they are ultimately less expensive to implement on laptops and other sub-desktop models.

We're not sure if Apple will ever succeed in pushing mini DisplayPort on the industry in favor of the full sized version, but Collins America has decided what bandwagon it wants to be on.

Collins has just announced three new CinemaView displays that feature the smaller connector.


  • The $299 1440 x 900 19-inch display
  • The $399 1650 x 1050 20-inch display
  • And $499 1920 x 1080 24-inch display

The three displays all feature 3 USB ports, passthrough stereo audio ports, an all-in-one cable, and totally ripped industrial design, but hey -- at least they're cheap.

They should be on sale 'before September 1.'
