Summary
Nearing the end of Apple's CRT production, the 21 inch Studio display is a massive monitor, even compared with other 21" PC displays. It was sold in two color patterns (Blueberry and Graphite), and styled to match the Power Mac G3/G4 aesthetic. It uses a Sony Trinitron tube with a custom chassis, balanced on a very sturdy tripod stand. It was targeted to the professional graphic design market, and advertised extensive software-based color calibration features.

Notes
This monitor uses a standard VGA connector for its video input. As such, it can be used with a PC or other VGA-compatible device. However, the monitor only has external controls for brightness and contrast. It requires a Mac-based utility named "USB Display Service Utility" to set geometry and color balance. It's best used in conjunction with a Power Mac G3 or G4, although it can be moved to another computer after configuration is complete.
