Move this if it's in the wrong sub-forum, please.

My Mac Pro is crying out for a pair of Post August 2006 30" ACD's. I am trying to check a couple of serials, supposedly from Apple 30" Cinema Displays, to get D.O.M.

Theres 2 types of 30" Display, after August 2006 the displays enjoyed increased brightness & contrast ratio.

Serial Number: CY022036XMP
Serial Number: CY80908GXMP

(Don't think they are 2010/Week 22 & 2008/Week 09 - don't think that format works on these serials).

Usually appleserialnumberinfo.com is really good but it's currently down & the auction finishes soon!

Where might be another site, that gives Production Dates for Apple Serials, please?

TIA

'On August 7, 2006 the Aluminium Cinema displays had a silent upgrade that boosted the brightness and contrast ratios to 300/400 cd/m2 and 700:1. These last Cinema displays are still very desirable to photo and video professionals being the last anti-glare displays made by Apple and having a true IPS 8-bit (no dithering) back-lit panel. Their brightness of 400 cd/m2 is also slightly higher than that of the current Apple Thunderbolt display, which has a reflective glossy screen and an edge-lit panel.
