Big, beautiful displays.
21.5-inch and 27-inch displays.
The new iMac has come a long way from the first 15-inch iMac. Take
one look and you’ll see just how far. A 21.5-inch or 27-inch
display with edge-to-edge glass covers nearly the entire front of
the enclosure. When all you see is the display, nothing gets
between you and what’s onscreen. Movies, TV shows, websites,
photos — everything looks stunning on the new 16:9 widescreen iMac
display.
LED backlighting.
When a display has more pixels, you need to push more light
through them to achieve the best picture possible. LED
backlighting in the new iMac does exactly that, with remarkable
brightness and efficiency. Because the LED backlight doesn’t take
up much space, the iMac enclosure stays thin — even with all the
high-performance components inside.
Higher resolution.
The new 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 HD resolution. Apple
engineers could simply have stretched that resolution up and out
for the 27-inch iMac. Instead, they took the display well beyond
HD with 2560-by-1440 resolution. That’s 78 percent more pixels
than the 21.5-inch iMac.
IPS technology.
The iMac display is designed to look great from almost any angle.
A technology called in-plane switching (IPS) makes this possible.
Whether you’re sitting in front of the display or standing off to
the side, you’ll get a perfect picture with superb colour
consistency and no loss of detail
Seamless enclosure.
While you’ll find a collection of ports on the back of iMac, you
won’t find much else. A seamless, precision-forged enclosure makes
the back one continuous aluminium surface. And there’s only one
cord: the power cord.
Cool, quiet components.
The wider iMac display allows more room to separate the two
hottest components, the CPU and the GPU. This keeps things cool
inside the iMac enclosure. Apple engineers also implemented an
intelligent control system that monitors temperatures and delivers
just the right amount of airflow to critical components. And the
three fans inside iMac have been tuned to be ultraquiet. The
result of all this tinkering with heat and sound? A system that
operates at 18 decibels when idle — so quiet, you hardly know it’s
on. |
