Some of you have probably been itching to play with Apple’s new video connection standard, but would rather not shell out $800. Perfectly understandable. Collins America has announced the first new line of LCD monitors to use Apple’s new Mini Display Port standard. The CinemeView LCD displays are made specifically for Macs and the first three models will be available before September 1st, 2009.

The three initial CinemaView displays will be: 19 inches with 1440×900 resolution, 20.1 inches at 1650×1050 and 24 inches at 1920×1080. The prices are just $299, 399, and $499. All displays feature 3 USB 2.0 ports, a passthrough stereo audio jack, and an all in one cable to connect them to your new Unibody Mac, or desktop.

UK car customization shop Carcomputer has uploaded some information and images of what may be the next generation of the Nanovision USB-driven Mimo monitor. The specifications look like they are the same as its predecessor, featuring a 7″ LED-backlit display at 800 x 480 resolution, but the newly designed case makes it stand out from the crowd.

You won’t have to worry about chunky and cheap-looking glossy plastic anymore, as these are slender matte black and silver. Plus they can collapsible and be stowed away in a bag so that your panel will stay scratch-free while traveling.
