Cheap Triple Monitor iMac setup

[Arman]

Just FYI, if you are looking for a dual/triple monitor setup and willing to sacrifice thunderbolt outputs for display only Monoprice is coming out with official 27" Crystal Pro monitors. These are LG monitors and are claimed to be the exact same monitors used in the Apple Thunderbolt display. I know these can be found on Ebay but I though for those who would be interested in a reputable 3rd party provider might be interested. This monitor will retail for $390 each. Also VESA Compatible so pickup a couple arm stands and you could have a sweet setup.

FYI, looks to only have DVI input so you'll need mini-display port to DVI adapters which you can find on Monoprice for less than 10 bucks.

Arman, did you order. Will it work with rMBP? Which cable is needed. Thinking of buying one. Thanks for posting.

Actually, you need a dual-link DVI adapter, which run about $70 on Monoprice.

Well that would make quite a difference. I was just forwarded to check out this panel which I guess is also the LG panel used in Cinema Display plus includes better connectivity and Speakers. This would be the way to go. No need for adapters.
