Apple has released a 27-inch LED Cinema Display. We actually reported this in March 2010 but now the new Apple monitor is official.

The design is identical to the smaller 24-inch version and looks a lot like the iMacs, just without the lower part. This means a glossy front and a black edge around the panel. The stand is very minimalistic and stylish and allows the user to tilt the screen. The cabinet is made from aluminum without joints.

The 27-inch LED Cinema Display will utilize the same IPS panel as the 24-inch LED Cinema Display and it has a massive resolution of 2560x1440 pixels in the 16:9 aspect ratio. The panel will incorporate a LED backlight that should reduce power consumption considerably and make the monitor thinner.
