CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 14 -- Apple(R) today unveiled the LED Cinema Display featuring a stunning 24-inch LED-backlit widescreen display with built-in iSight(R) video camera, mic and speakers in an elegant, thin aluminum and glass enclosure.

"It is a perfect fit for our sleek new line of aluminum MacBooks with its 24-inch LED-backlit screen, aluminum and glass enclosure, integrated camera, mic and speakers, MagSafe charger, three USB ports and Mini DisplayPort."
The 24-inch glossy, widescreen display with 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution uses LED-backlit technology to provide instant full-screen brightness and great power efficiency. Suspended by an aluminum stand with an adjustable hinge that makes tilting the display almost effortless, the new display includes a built-in iSight video camera, mic and speakers, making it ideal for video conferencing with iChat(R),* listening to music or watching movies. The new display also includes three self-powered USB 2.0 ports so users can simply leave their printer, camera, iPhone(TM) 3G or iPod(R) dock connected when they take their MacBook with them.
