27" imac monitor versus 27" thunderbolt

[iMacNoob]

Is the iMac's 27" monitor the same as the 27" stand alone thunderbolt monitor?

Is it just the framing etc. that is different or the "tube" is different also?

I don't have exact details, but I believe they are quite similar. The only difference I have noticed is that the color of my ACD is a bit cooler (as in temperature) than the iMac. I would assume this to extend to the ATD as well.
