I have a 13" MB. If I purchased the LED Display would I be able to use it as a so to say, seperate computer. I know it's just a screen but would I only be able to use one computer at a time or can I access different screens and stuff on both.
Got a tip for us?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Different operating systems? Not exactly, but you could run a virtualized copy of Windows fullscreen on one display.

I think he's asking if he can hook multiple computers to it at a time, to see his mac, then switch to the windows PC, etc. .
I don't think that's possible, but you could always just plug it into another computer to use it with that as long as the connections support it. Macs use DVI/Mini DVI, PCs usually use VGA. You'd have to either make sure it has the VGA for a PC, or find an adaptor for VGA to DVI (if that even exists).

You want to use a KVM by the sounds of it. It will obviously need to be compatible with everything

There was nothing simple about the original question. 😛
Yes, as indicated above, you can either span the desktop across both screens, or mirror the MacBook display to the Cinema Display, or run the MacBook closed and use only the CD.

Ah, too true. You would have to use the adaptor, although not sure if that would work.
It's now completely irrelevant as the OP expained him/herself a bit better
