This is the back of the 24-inch LED Cinema Display. I thought showing the back would be appropriate to represent the 20-incher leaving the Apple Store...not as effective as I was hoping, it seems. Eric Franklin/CNET Networks

According to MacRumors and my own sleuthing on Apple's site, Apple has removed the 20-inch Cinema Display from its online store.

MacRumors speculates that Apple is gearing up for a refresh of its 20-inch Cinema Display in the form of a new LED-based 20-incher with a Mini DisplayPort connection like the 24-inch LED Cinema Display released last year.

No official word from Apple yet, of course, but here's hoping that if this is true, the company at least includes a DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter with the 20-incher so more than just MacBook owners will get some use out of it.
