“With built-in MagSafe charging, iSight camera, speakers, and USB ports, the LED Cinema Display is ideal for MacBook and MacBook Pro users,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, in the press release. “With its massive 2560 x 1440 resolution, the new 27-inch LED Cinema Display is a perfect fit with our powerful new Mac Pro, and it gives iMac users an easy way to double their screen real estate.”
The new, larger 27-inch LED Cinema Display features a beautiful 16:9 edge-to-edge glass display on an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that makes tilting the display almost effortless. The LED Cinema Display has vivid colors and exceptionally high contrast and uses a premium display technology called in-plane switching (IPS) to provide a brilliant image across an ultra wide 178 degree viewing angle.
Designed as a companion for any Mac notebook or desktop, the 27-inch display includes a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing, an integrated MagSafe charger to keep Mac notebooks charged, built-in Mini DisplayPort connectivity for video and audio input and a powered three-port USB 2.0 hub so customers can charge their iPhone® or iPod® even when they take their MacBook with them.
The new LED Cinema Display now includes a new ambient light sensor which automatically adjusts the display brightness based on external lighting conditions and uses only as much energy as necessary to provide an optimum viewing experience. Made with mercury-free LED technology, arsenic-free glass and highly recyclable materials, the LED Cinema Display meets stringent Energy Star 5.0 requirements and achieves EPEAT Gold status. The new display contains no brominated flame retardants and all cables and components are PVC-free.
The new 27-inch LED Cinema Display is available through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of US$999. The LED Cinema Display requires a Mac with Mini DisplayPort.

I have a Samsung monitor at work, and an Apple Cinema Display at home. The difference is not a small one. This monitor displays color equality, the Samsung monitor has a terrible viewing angle. I am so ready to get my iMac upgrade that I have petitioned.
When it comes to screens I don’t agree with Apple.
There is no reason to stop the 24 model just because a 27 is launched. I don’t think every one wants a 27 display, it’s kind big.
I think Apples decision here was retarded.
While uncle festers cousin makes a good point about glossy screens being matte screens without the coating, they neglect to mention that the problem with the Cinema Display and iMac in particular that most competing glossy screen products don’t have, is the extra layer of glass in front. Both the iMac and the Cinema display are actually FAR more tolerable in terms of reflectivity once you remove the glass in front with suction cups. The problem with this method though, is that it is no longer beautiful.
