Apple displays
displays manufactured by Apple
Apple Inc. has sold a variety of LCD and CRT computer displays since introducing their first display in 1980. Apple paused production of their own standalone displays in 2016 and partnered with LG to design displays for Macs. In June 2019, the Pro Display XDR was introduced, however it was expensive and targeted for professionals. In March 2022, the Studio Display was launched as a consumer-targeted counterpart. These are currently the only Apple-branded displays available.
CRT displays
In the beginning (throughout the 1970s), Apple did not manufacture or sell displays of any kind, instead recommending users plug-into their television sets or (then) expensive third party monochrome monitors. However, in order to offer complete systems through its dealers, Apple began to offer various displays including the 1981 Monitor ///, which they manufactured in-house and paired perfectly with the Apple ///. Apple then went on to supply a rebadged third party manufactured monitor that paired perfectly with the Apple //e, the Monitor //.
First generation
Apple's manufacture history of CRT displays began in 1980, starting with the Monitor /// that was introduced alongside and matched the Apple III business computer.

Why this record matters
“Apple displays” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Apple, displays and manufactured provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q621356. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1980, 2016, 2019 and 2022.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
