I bought this monitor for my MacPro (Hexacore model of the end of 2013) that I have on Monday, march 17, 2014 through Alterra at the Applestore in Amsterdam have ordered. What is the monitor, which I bought almost simultaneously at an exclusive audiozaak in Tilburg. It was one of the very last models with him more than two years in the warehouse had been. And because it was a type of the previous generation was able to I him there with big discount buy. Because the 30-Inch Cinema HD Display, a duallink DVI-D input, I had a Dual-DVI/Thunderbold adapter to catch him on one of the Thunderbold2 ports of my Mac Pro to connect. Unfortunately, the expense that adapter lwa 99,00 what I outrageous a lot of money. What the performance of the monitor, which is really perfect. The picture quality is very good, although not perfect. So is the black is not really black, but a based activities to join in. The other kleurgradi lwa ingredients as well as the contrast and the brightness are good, and are evenly distributed over the screen. With a WQXGA resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels (which corresponds to an image of 4 megapixels) do you really feel that you are 100% involved with it beyond what you’re doing. Partly because the monitor is 30 inches, the large is equivalent to a diagonal screen size of 76.2 cm. Because the aspect ratio 10:16 instead of the usual 9:16 have you even extra vertical space that is useful in the reading of Word documents or web pages. The image is unbelievably beautiful and a good alternative for people who have a 4K screen is still too expensive. It was also one of the latest Apple monitor with a matscherm that even when new were offered so that I it together with my Mac Pro Applecare could throw. The only real downside to the monitor is the limited connectivity. Two USB2 and FireWirepoorten I find what scanty for such a professional monitor. Fortunately, the beautiful aluminium design back a lot of good.
I currently have this monitor for almost two years in use, whereby I can mention that there are still no signs of wear. No pixeldefecten, declining brightness, and contrast. In short, the monitor still appears to be as new while the screen does, on average, per day over eight hours is turned on. However, I must in all fairness add that the monitor in terms of specs, however, what is behind starts to walk away. The year 2016 is not full support of the Adobe RGB color depth is not more of this time. As well as the resolution, that today in this segment yet, at least 4K (3840×2160 or 4096×2160). Also, the monitor is a bit of ghosting on very fast action games like GTA V. The refresh rate of the 30-Inch Cinema HD Display at up to 60 Hz-and that was also what may be higher. Nevertheless, it is voormij still the perfect monitor I would like to get many years of pleasure to the experience. Partly because this display has a durable IPS panel.
