CinemaView Announces Changes to Product Lineup [Drops Smaller Models and Adds CinemaView 47, TV/PC Display and External HDTV Tuner]

CinemaView today announced significant changes to its still unreleased CinemaView mac-friendly product line chief among which are the discontinuation of both the 19-inch CinemaView 19 and 20-inch CinemaView 20 HDTVs. They have also beefed up their offerings with the addition of the 47-inch CinemaView 47 display, TV/PC Combo, and External HDTV Tuner.

Their new increased product line will be led by the 24-inch model; as before, the CinemaView 24 will bear similarity to Apple’s LED Cinema Display but produce a 1080p resolution. The new screen moves from three to four USB ports and now has a 2ms pixel response time and a 1,000:1 static contrast ratio. Its pricing hasn’t changed at $499, but its launch has been moved back two months to October.

Completely new to the display lineup is the CinemaView 47, a crossover TV and PC display. Just like the dedicated computer display it produces the same resolution while still using just Mini DisplayPort for input. The set also includes four USB ports and has a slightly slower 4ms pixel response and 4,000:1 contrast ratio. With a price tag of $1,499 it’s not expected to be available until sometime early next year.

The CinemaView TV tuner carries dual cable HDTV tuners and outputs to HDMI and Mini DisplayPort to provide either Apple or Collins displays with TV. The unit also sports picture-in-picture and can be connected to as many as four separate HDMI sources, Mini DisplayPort, component or RCA. It will come with an RF remote and is scheduled to appear in January for $399. For more information you can head over to www.cinemaview.com.
