Apple's first major update to the Cinema Display line brings a much greener design and a raft of welcome feature updates, especially for MacBook owners. At the same time, a partial shift away from Apple's mainstay professional crowd makes one wonder where the company is going and whether it hasn't lost focus.

The LED Cinema Display represents many firsts for Apple, including the company’s first LED backlit stand-alone display and the first external display designed specifically for Apple laptops. Its lack of compatibility with other Macs is disappointing, but it’s a good fit for its limited target audience.

If you're a MacBook Pro owner, then here's another reason to smile. Apple has designed the beautiful LED Cinema Display especially for you, complete with an extra 24 inches of viewing space, spare controls, and striking performance.
