Description

The Apple Studio Display 15” was a flat panel LCD screen mounted in dark blue translucent plastic.  It had two ADB ports, an S-Video port, an RCA port and two USB ports.  It was capable of displaying millions of colors at any resolution.

History

The Apple Studio Display 15-inch was housed in the translucent plastic that was soon to become Apple’s signature for a number of years.  However, at that time, the Apple computers that were available didn’t match-they were all still beige.  The sales were moderate, but this was the display that marked the beginning of the change over from CRT to LCD.
