Is the 27" iMac display exactly the same as the 27" ACD?

I'm looking at updating my existing set up and want to know whether the above displays are exactly the same. From memory the ACD's were usually of a better quality compared to the iMac displays. Have they achieved parity now?  Where will I find full specifications as I can't find them for the iMac - only that they are ips displays, and the resolution and speaker wattage.
Thanks guys.

Read the specifications on each (available on Apple's site) and you will have all the information you need.
This displays's specifications are at:
http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
The computer's specifications can be found by typing in your serial number at:

  • Imac display problem, the resolution seems to be unusual, top bar and all folders on the desktop background is off the screen

    Need help with 21" imac display problem. The resolution seems to be unsual, everything on the desktop background goes off the screen. The resolution is set at 1920 x 1080

    Quit the game and restart the iPad.
    To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • When streaming a movie from an imac to apple tv, is there a way of putting the imac display off? I find it a waste having the screen on in another room. Any advice?

    No problem.
    This is a user forum so you are not addressing Apple. There's nothing to fix, that's how home-sharing works. There would be no way for the ATV to recognize your library and display content if the computer is in sleep mode.
    You can always airplay from an IOS device or use icloud if you don't wish to keep the computer on.

  • I have two apple products registered to the same apple id.  I would like to use FaceTime on my iPad while out of town.  I need to do FaceTime to my iMac at home (both iPad and imac are reg. to same id).  It won't let me do it, help?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    How do you display exact duplicates in Itunes 11. It is now missung under the file?

    Right-click on this direct link to ExactDuplicates and "download" or "save link as..." to a location of your choice. Double-click to the file to run it. You should get something a bit like this:
    If your system will allow it my script will produce a progress bar so you can see what is going on, otherwise you will have to be patient, it will carry on working in the background.
    After scanning for duplicates it then adds them to a new playlist. For large libraries this process can be quite slow. (Very slow if you also have old hardware like me.)
    Finally you'll get a results window like this (from a different test run, as I didn't have time for the full one to finish when I was grabbing screenshots).
    You can use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Leave at least one track behind from each repeated group and don't send anything to the recycle bin unless you are sure you have more than one physical copy.
    The DeDuper script has several advantages over cleaning by hand. Automating the process allows preservation & amalgamation of ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. See this thread for more detail.

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

  • How do you know the best iMac display size

    how do you know the best iMac display size
    Only on them fits in the screen window and that makes the font so tiny.  The others are too wide or too tall.  I usually view at 150 - 200% for vision issues.

    You say it's better to do the Media Browser?  I'm fairly new to movie, dvd and garage band.  How would I go about using the Media Browser instead of straight to iDVD?
    Select Your project - go up to Share - Share to Media Browser and as Large (Not HD)
    In iDVD select a nice theme - click on Media button - click on Movie - Select Your movie.
    NOW - Save as a DiskImage - and test this before burning DVDs - if this Plays OK then either burn the Image by using Disk Util tool (and set down burn-speed to x4) - or burn via iDVD (will take more time)
    I want to keep as much quality as I can.
    Then don't use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they all discard every second line resulting in less quality on the DVD. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version.
    Also...I tried to split my project in iMovie...but couldn't find a way.  I wound up just making a copy and then deleting out a handful of scenes from the copy...I still have the original at 4:12hrs.  Is there a way in iMovie to split a project? 
    I would make a copy and cut away a bit from the end - calling this Part 1 and from start of the other copy Part 2.
    OR - there are other programs that can squees in more to a DVD e.g. Roxio Toast™ - BUT this has two cons.
    • It costs - to me it was well spent mony as it can so much more e.g. back engineer a DVD to an editable form
    • Squeesing in more on a DVD - costs in QUALITY - and as You want as much as it can be - then 90 minuts portions encoded with Pro-Quality encoding and full quality interlasced material from a video-editor that delivers this is the way to get 100% of what DVDs can do.
    DVD is as standard only SD-Video - HD not possibly. Then You need Blu-Ray. (also Roxio Toast™)

  • Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

    Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original.   Hasn't shut off again.... yet.   Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other.   Thanks.

  • Compared with the iMac display...

    Why does it seem to me that when compared with the iMac display, the 30-incher looks somewhat grainy and plays videos not so well? Is the 24" iMac display actually a better display?

    The Cinema Display has a anti glare coating on it. I have heard allot of people who have the 30" display complain that it is very noticeable. I have the 23" and it is noticeable but it's not bad at all.
    I too have my display connected to an iMac but I think the Cinema Display looks much better.

  • Imac displays I have aperture installed but I do not have the serial

    My imac displays that I have Aperture loaded but I do not recall loading. I do not have the serial # or information required for opening. How can I find the information?

    is Aperture asking for a serial number? Maybe you installed the Aperture Trial version some time ago, but there is no longer a way to obtain a serial number to unlock the Trial. Aperture does not come preinstalled with any mac System. If you want to use it, you have to buy it from the AppStore. The new versions bought from the AppStore will be tied to your AppleID.

  • IMac display getting yellow when external display is attached?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my IMac (27'' Mid 2010):
    I have an external TV attached via MDP->DVI->HDMI cable. When I turn on the TV, the iMac recognizes it and the iMac display turns blue shortly, then the desktop returns and my TV is ready.
    What I noticed: After the desktop returns, the iMac sometimes suddenly becomes "more yellow". Don't know exactly how to describe it, but I can clearly see how the desktop returns and then suddenly the imac display turns a little yellow, could also be that the display just gets a little darker (although the display brightness is the same as before). it's nothing that really disturbs me, and although I never saw the color return to normal it does (but I think only after rebooting the iMac)
    anything on this? anyone else noticed that?
    Message was edited by: nachdenki

    Hi nachdenki
    I've used both TV's and Monitors with my iMac over the years and that default iMac Profile has always looked yellow in comparison. Try one of those other sRGB, RGB Profiles or create a new Color Profile for the iMac's display.
