>> Important Auction Information
Please note that the Mac mini, keyboard, and any other peripherals shown in the photos are for demonstration purposes only, to illustrate proper operation and the historically accurate setup. These items are not included in this auction. Only the Cinema Display is auctioned.

// Condition & Notes
The screen is fully operational, but as typical for this model after many years, dust may be visible inside the display, especially on light backgrounds. Please see the detailed photo for reference. This is normal aging for this type of Apple display and does not affect performance. If this may bother you, please do not bid, leaving this excellent piece for other Mac enthusiasts.

The display is in good overall condition for its age and is fully functional. There are normal signs of use, including minor wear at the base of the stand and some yellowing of the white plastic components, which is typical for aluminum Cinema Displays from this era. These cosmetic imperfections do not affect the performance of the screen or its built-in features.

The stand and tilt mechanism are fully functional, and the unit has been well preserved over the years.

// Collector’s Note
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a vintage Apple Aluminum Cinema Display, perfect for collectors or anyone looking to recreate a complete time-correct Apple setup. In fact, it pairs perfectly with the 2006 Mac mini auctioned separately this week, allowing you to complete a classic retro Apple desktop environment.
