Release dates
The first Apple Multiple Scan Displays, the Trinitron-based Multiple Scan 17 and 20, were made available to consumers on March 14, 1994. Those were followed by the Multiple Scan 15, 14, 1705, 15AV, and 720, in that order, and at lower prices due to switching to less-expensive shadow mask CRT technology.
