Hi guys,
I know that TBDs issues have been talked about here, but I didnt want to hi-jack anyones thread.
Anyways, my question is: do the Thunderbolt Displays wake/sleep and USB problems concern every TBD or just some models (like 2010 or 2011 ones)?
Does it malfunction with some specific Macbook models or is it random?
From the threads Ive read it seems that sometimes it is a software problem and then others report that the displays Thunderbolt cable was faulty And it seems that these sleep and USB issues are quite widespread.
Because when buying a $1300 equipment (thats TBD price in Poland - though I'd also found refurbs for $1000) I would expect it to work flawlessly especially since its Apples product and how hard can it be to make it work with very limited computer configurations they have
Im asking, because I would very much like to get a TBD to replace my Dell (U2412M) to work with 2011 15 MBP. Obviously the Dell is fine, but it so happens that I was moving and giving away my unused PCs. A friend who came up to pick one up said he would like to buy the Dell display. At first I didnt want to sell, but now a 1 cable solution would be nice instead of connecting and disconnecting all the cables times a day plus my cable jungle behind the Dell would be gone. Now that Ive moved to my own, nice apartment, it would be nice to have my workplace nice and tidy and I could spare some cash on the TB since Im having all the expenses for furtniture etc. A TBD would surely tie the room together☺ (Its display properties, the enormous screen real estate etc are obvious benefits☺
But is it worth it? Since it seems from reading apple discussions site and MacRumors that the TBD often doesnt provide the 1 cable solution that it promises?
So, could you advice me in any way, like which TBD models to avoid or is just a lottery with them displays?
Any input will be highly appreciated.
