Tom's Hardware har ett test av proffsskärmar, All-Pro LCDs Part 2, där de testar följande:
• Apple M9178LLA Silver 23" Cinema HD LCD Display
• EIZO Nanao 21.3" FlexScan LCD Monitor - Black
• ViewSonic VP231WB 23" LCD Monitor
Apple får sig en fin känga för icke existerande OSD, den kombinerade sladden och för dålig ergonomi, men de gillar designen. Prestandamässigt var den både bra och dålig:
In this case the result was very good, with 92% of the colors perfect and 97% within standard. But when we moved away from 6500K, performance faded. So if you are a photographer, the Apple Cinema may not be what you're looking for.

These values were at the calibration point - that is, with the brightness, contrast and color adjustments that resulted in the best calibration curve. When you move away from this calibration point by adjusting the contrast and/or brightness, the calibration curve deteriorates.
The Apple's black level is not good enough. It barely matched the performance of the much more inexpensive Dell 2001FP. The brightness was a little high, which naturally makes this monitor more suitable for video than for office use.
