Display
Screen size
Screen size	16.1″	16″
Panel
Panel	CRT (Nominal 17-inch Trinitron CRT, 16.1-inch viewable image, 0.26 mm stripe pitch; no fixed native pixel matrix)	CRT (Nominal 17-inch Mitsubishi Diamondtron aperture-grille CRT, 16-inch viewable image; 0.25 mm aperture grille pitch. Vertically flat screen, without a fixed native pixel matrix.)
Colour modes
Colour modes	DigitalColor feedback and automatic calibration against factory measurements, with ambient-light and phosphor-age compensation; ColorSync 2.0 support. Selectable colour temperature 4100–9300 K in Apple's Japanese specification.	–
Supported signal modes
Supported signal modes	Apple lists 640 × 480 at 60 or 66.67 Hz; 800 × 600 at 60.31 or 75 Hz; 832 × 624 at 74.55 Hz; 1024 × 768 at 60 or 74.93 Hz; 1152 × 870 at 75 Hz; and 1280 × 1024 at 60 or 75.03 Hz. Horizontal scan range 30–80 kHz and vertical range 50–120 Hz. Supported signal modes depend on the computer/video card, not a native matrix or native refresh rate.	Supported signal modes include 1600 × 1200 at up to 60 Hz, 1280 × 1024 at up to 75 Hz and 1024 × 768 at up to 85 Hz. Horizontal scan 30–85 kHz; vertical scan 48–160 Hz. These are selectable CRT modes, not a fixed native matrix or one native refresh rate.

Speakers
Speakers	Yes	–
Other connections
Other connections	Macintosh 15-pin DA-15 analogue RGB connector, supplied PC VGA adaptor, ADB input and two pass-through device connections. Front headphone output mutes the internal speakers; audio input/output and microphone connections are described in Service Source. No second independent video input inferred from secondary wording.	Captive 15-pin mini D-Sub VGA cable; included VGA-to-Macintosh adaptor for older Mac video connectors
Speaker detail
Speaker detail	Built-in bass-reflex stereo speakers and directional microphone. Service Source states 70 Hz–20 kHz ±6 dB audio response and 92 dB SPL at 1 kHz, measured at 0.5 m; these are maker audio claims, not reviewer measurements.	–

Weight with stand
Weight with stand	27 kg	20.8 kg
Size with stand
Size with stand	Service Source and October 1995 Apple Facts give 507 × 405 × 452 mm (height × width × depth); Apple's Japanese specification instead gives 507 × 410 × 484 mm, retained as a regional source difference	January 1999 maker datasheet gives 41.1 × 42.7 × 44.7 cm (width × height × depth); archived support sheet instead lists 18.9 × 16.5 × 16.9 inches (height × width × depth), an unresolved maker conflict
Weight detail
Weight detail	Service Source and Apple Facts publish 27 kg (60 lb); Japanese specification approximately 27 kg	January 1999 M6221LL/A datasheet specifies 20.8 kg (45.9 lb); archived Apple support sheet instead lists 48 lb. The model-specific datasheet metric figure is used.
Controls
Controls	Power, brightness, contrast, geometry, convergence, colour temperature, bass, treble, volume, microphone on/off and speaker mute. AppleVision Macintosh software provides screen controls; PC operation uses on-screen controls. Automatic power-on degauss.	Power, brightness, contrast, on-screen geometry, convergence, degauss, moiré and colour-temperature controls
Colours
Colours	–	Translucent Blueberry and white enclosure; the later August 1999 Graphite revision has the same performance and internal circuitry according to Apple's service manual
Power and support
Power use
Power use	Service Source and English support archive state 130 W maximum; Japanese specification instead gives 150 W operating maximum, 11 W or less standby and 0 W energy-saving mode	January 1999 datasheet specifies maximum 150 W operating, less than 15 W standby and less than 5 W with the computer in energy-saving mode. Archived support sheet instead gives maximum 120 W; this maker conflict is retained.
Power supply
Power supply	Service Source and Japanese specification 100–240 V AC, 50–60 Hz; English archive instead lists 100–120/220–240 V bands. Mains frequency is not screen refresh.	January 1999 datasheet specifies 90–264 V AC, 47–63 Hz; these are mains ratings, not display refresh rates
Software
Software	System 7.1 or later. Contemporary 7 August 1995 TidBITS reports Apple announcing availability; Apple's later English support archive dates introduction 8 August 1995. August retail month retained rather than inferring an exact day. Japanese regional dimensions and power differ from Service Source; figures remain qualified. Brightness and contrast ratio are unpublished.	Maker announced the new Studio Display family on 5 January 1999; January retail precision is used because a distinct first-sale day is unconfirmed. January datasheet lists Power Macintosh G3 with Mac OS 8.0 or later. Brightness and contrast ratio are unpublished and omitted; no pixel density is assigned to this CRT.
