Are the mac monitors worth it? i mean $1000 for a monitor?? worth it? there are a lot of 27" for way less than half that price... why so expensive?
 
Built material, ports, panel. If you want a monitor of the same quality, you will pay the same, or even more.


PS: They are APPLE monitors, as Apple is the company selling them, "Mac" is short for their computers.

ya sorry apple monitor :)

but i have to get the old model right the cinema one? since this will be connected to a comp that doesn't have thunderbolt
 
No. For a computer to run a Thunderbolt display, it needs to have a Thunderbolt port. An MDP Mac cannot run a Thunderbolt display. It just won't work. And that cable cannot connect a DVI computer to an ATD. It only connects MDP computers to DVI displays. Just because the MDP and Thunderbolt ports have the same shape, it does not mean you can use them interchangeably.
