    Thunderbolt 27" screen

    Posted by: from SoCal on 02/25/2013I love that if I have several screens open at the same time, I have plenty of room to move them around and see them without having to keep toggling between them ... great for comparing two different programs side by side.

    Monitor is pretty good

    Posted by: from Neeses,SC on 02/09/2013Good picture, not much volume, runs a lot cooler than my 27 inch that died before my warrantee ended but I've been told it won't be usable as just a monitor if my mini dies or I try to use it with windows.

    Posted by: from Arlington, TX on 01/17/2013The display is brilliant. Easy to use & very easy to get started. I must for someone needing the size of a desktop, but also the mobile ability of a laptop, just unplug & take your MacBook to go!

    Great Monitor for MacBook Pro w/Thunderbolt
    5
    Posted by: from Phoenix, AZ on 10/12/2012I purchased this display to allow me to dock my macbook pro (2012+) on my desk and have a bigger display for programming work. I tried using a hdmi lcd monitor previously, but the macbook pro had issues with resetting the screen resolutions when I connected and disconnected the display. It would sometimes not realize that it was no longer not connected to the display and leave the resolution to high. With this thunderbolt display, I no longer have this issue. The image quality is excellent and it performs flawlessly. The only concern that I have is the temperature of the thunderbolt cable when displaying a lot of graphics. May not be an issue, and hasn't caused any damage to my macbook.

    Posted by: from VTown, CA on 08/29/2012Monitor is great for revising pictures, viewing videos and huge display while surfing the net. If you're stuck at 22" monitor, then upgrade now for best viewing!

    Awesome monitor
    5
    Posted by: from AZ on 08/29/2012I purchased this monitor to turn my Retina MacBook Pro ( rMBP )into a desktop setup at home. What that means is when I get home from work I plug the rMBP into this monitor not only does it get charged, it functions like a desktop with an added keypad and mouse or touch pad. The resolution is amazing and the screen real estate meets my needs. This is a must have for Retina MacBook Pro Owners!

    Posted by: from Torrance, CA on 08/22/2012Great resolution. Easy set up. Mirrors my mac really well as expected. Another feat by Apple. Don't like glossy surface but knew about it b4 purchase. Bit too pricey.

    Great monitor for any (recent model) Macbook user.

    Posted by: from New Richmond, OH on 08/12/2012Unfortunately others have dinged this monitor pretty hard on reviews based solely on it being Thunderbolt only and not working with older hardware. Do your homework prior to purchasing and it will become obvious that this monitor requires a Thunderbolt equipped Mac to work. I decided to shell out the extra cash for this IPS panel over other brands not because it's Apple but because its integrated array of ports. I've long wanted an official dock for my Macbook devices only to find third party solutions that came up short in some regard. Nothing seemed to quite fit the bill and feel like a polished and complete solution. This monitor is close to perfection. Using a single bundled cable I can easily plug in power, monitor, speakers, webcam, USB devices, Firewire devices, gigabit ethernet as well as other devices that operate on Thunderbolt and achieve what I consider to be the first real and nearly complete Macbook dock solution I've found. Docking features aside, the 2560x1440 pixel IPS panel provides amazing picture quality and lots of screen real estate. The webcam looks pretty decent as well. I had to disable the auto-dimming feature within OS X and crank the brightness up on mine, though. Not because the display didn't look amazing but because there's a monitor right behind me on another computer that was reflecting very badly. A few features I wish that Apple would have included/changed on this display would be related to the integrated ports/dock. I would have liked to have seen USB 3.0 included in this revision as well as mini-jack ports for both microphone and speakers/headphones. Also, since I am wanting a simple one wire solution, I've been using the integrated speakers in this display which are just OK (due to lack of external mini-jack connectivity). They won't blow you away by any means but I figure you can only do so much with speakers that fit in a display. All things considered, if Apple makes a new revision of this display integrating an audio and microphone jack as well as upgrading the USB to 3.0 they will have achieved perfection. Until then, if you have a Thunderbolt equipped Macbook and aren't scared of the price, this is as close as you're going to get.

    AWESOME Display!!!
    5
    Posted by: from Columbus, GA on 07/16/2012First off, this is a great display, and for the people giving it two stars for not being compatible with earlier models, you should read a little more about it before you buy it. They offer the same version of this display, just with a display chord instead of thunderbolt for older macbooks and macs. Don't make the reviews skewed because you didn't read up on it before hand. The display itself; however, is amazing. the resolution is top notch and the bigger screen makes video editing, playing games, surfing the internet, and pretty much everything else easier, as well as better! I currently use it with my MacBook Pro 15 inch (Late 2011) as a docking station/desktop. its great if you had to give up your love for a desktop for the mobility of a laptop. You won't regret this purchase.
