I was really hoping not to like this Monitor, and had all the intentions to take it back to Best Buy if it did not meet my expectations. this is an expensive Monitor, I got it for $949.00 dollars, but let's be honest, what Apple product isn't. I got this for my MacBook Pro Retina (2014), and so far, it's done everything I could possibly want it to do. This is not the best Monitor you can purchase, and I'm sure there are a lot that are cheaper and would work just as good, however, as far as functionality with my MacBook Pro, this is the perfect monitor, the Thunderbolt and Power connection is easy, and the display is large and very sharp. After 4 months of use, I've had no problems at all, I haven't had an issue with glare,but, at the same time, my monitor is in a lowly lighted room, the USB Ports in the back are nice, although they're not 3.0, they're still very functional and gets the job done. To summarize it all, it effectively turns your MacBook Pro into a very nice Desktop PC.

This is an awesome screen!! I'm super productive & can have 3-4 screens going at once.

If you have any model of Mac this is the best display I have connected to. For pro and air books it doubles as docking station with the integrated cable.

The new Thunderbolt display is awesome! My last display was 20" and the 27" size and picture quality far surpass the old one. Lots of room to spread things out.

This monitor is absolutely amazing! It is very big and makes it easy for any level of computer user to be able to see and use comfortably. It can be used to connect to a Mac or other computer or apple device with a thunderbolt port. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of thunderbolt but it is a fairly new, super fast and very easy to manage connection that is changing the speeds at which peripherals communicate with each other. Not only does this device hook up through a thunderbolt port, it also plugs into the wall for an optional charging port for a MacBook Pro. You can use this Display as a docking station for your MBP or you can use it to connect to any other device with an available thunderbolt port. The monitor also comes with 3 high speed USB ports and an Ethernet and FireWire port as well not to mention an additional thunderbolt port since you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices. All in all, if you're thinking of getting a bigger high quality monitor, look no further. If you're scared of the price a bit, let me be the first to tell you that I was also scared of the price but I went for it and it is so worth it! I would recommend this monitor to anyone needing a bigger high quality monitor or even a graphics design or photography amateur or professional . Also, it could be used for any student with a MacBook Pro wanting to use this as a "desktop" solution without spending the extra money to buy a whole desktop computer. But don't just take my advice for it, go see for yourself!
