2023-12-11: Retiring the Apple Cinema Displays

The Apple Cinema Displays I had repaired myself and used as my secondary monitors at home and at my parents' had developed quite severe burn-in and image retention tendencies. Their power supplies were also starting to become a bit temperamental, sometimes not turning on right away. Thus, it was finally time to decommission them from active service. I bought a pair of used Lenovo ThinkVision LT2452P IPS monitors (with matching size and resolution to the Apple monitors, 23″ and 1920 × 1200, respectively) from my local second hand IT store. Apart from the quite divisive design language they share with the ThinkPad lineup of laptops, the new old monitors were excellent from the get go. As IPS monitors, they have good colors, and gone are the burn-in tendencies and the horrible cabling of the Apple units.

I connected the newly-retired Apple Cinema Displays to a 2007 Mac Pro I also got from my previous workplace. This setup would've cost a fortune back in the day:
