Apple has drastically cut down the shipping time for their new 24-inch Cinema Display. Customers who ordered the new Cinema Display won’t have to wait as long as previously though, their orders should be shipping in the next seven to ten days.
The new LCD display that was announced last month along with the new MacBooks, features a high resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Apple used a new LED backlighting to improve color, save energy, and make a quicker transition to full brightness.
The 24-in Cinema Display also features a 2.1- channel speaker system, iSight camera and microphone. The display was designed to work with MacBooks with the Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe, and USB 2.0 connections. For those who wish to order this display and have not done so already, you can purchase it for $900 at any Apple Store.

This article is poorly researched to put it mildly. It has not been possible to pre-order this display so far. Apple had stated it would be on sale in “early November”. The fact that it still can not be pre-ordered in mid-November is not consistent with the claim in the headline or the article. Also, the 7-10 days estimate has now been changed to “Shipping: November” indicating a further slippage in the schedule.

If you bothered to do the minimal research and contacted someone *knowledgeable* at Apple they would have told you that they are struggling to stock in time for Christmas! They will likely only be able to take pre-orders by end of November, then have a lag time of 2 weeks before it starts shipping, and people who place the initial orders will receive it in the 3rd week of December.
