I bought a TBD to connect to my 2011 Mac Mini. I have not regretted that decision yet, but I've only had it about 30 days. As others have stated the text is small, but I have gotten used to it. Viewing my 2009 MacBook Pro makes me wish it was a higher resolution. Other displays at this resolution are similar in price. I would seriously consider a 2nd TBD if my Mac Mini would drive it. If Apple continues with the Mac Pro line and adds a Thunderbolt port in the next refresh I will think seriously about getting a Mac Pro and second monitor.
Mac mini with SSD(s) and Apple Thunderbolt Display make an awesome combination! I am currently using such a combination with Apple Cinema Display replacing Apple Thunderbolt Display.

I have a 27" iMac. The price in the UKfor the TB display is £899.00 Don't get me wrong, I love my Apple stuff, but that knit of money for a display..fast as it may be. Is just too much money.
You can do nearly as well, for about half the money, unless you are determined to use the TB connection.
I'd like another monitor for my bedroom to use with my MBA/ MBP, but close on £1000? Nope.

How about a 27 imac with thunderbolt built in from the refurb store? its about 400 more than the TBD, on the other hand if $999 is a stretch $400 more hurts even more. Just an idea it seems like there might be more value in imac and maybe better resale value in years to come?
