Would this monitor work fine with my 13" MBP?

If it has an HDMI port then yes it will.

But honestly if your looking to spend that much on a monitor, go a few hundred more and get the 27" Apple Cinema Display.

Bigger screen size, better colors and better resolution.

Also it looks nicer.

Thats a little big... Maybe the 24" ACD though :)

EDIT: Wait a sec, do they not sell a 24" ACD anymore :(

Too big?!

Since when does a person not like a bigger screen?

I honestly think if you are bringing your price point that high that the Apple Cinema display is the way to go. I heard great reviews.

Yes, I'd like to, but in NZ the ACD is a whopping $2,800! I converted the currency, and it should be only $2,200, but for some reason its been jacked up 600 bucks for NZ customers :eek: The other display is a good 23" one, and for only $720. Much better value in this country.

That looks pretty nice, although I would connect with DVI rather than VGA. Gives a significantly better picture in most cases
 
That's one hella expensive monitor, save a few hundred bucks and get the Dell Ultrasharp U2410. One heck of a monitor from what I hear, or go a few bucks extra and get the Ultrasharp U2711. Or heck, find the older generation of ACD's. I liked those more than the new generation, mmmmmmmm AG monitorsss

Sorry, I'm not to great with display ports. So I'd buy a DVI-I to VGA Display Adaptor... but what do I have to buy to connect that to my minidisplay port on my MBP?

Actually what you would want to do is buy a miniDisplayPort to DVI adapter, then just run a DVI cable from that to the monitor. You can also buy miniDisplayPort to DVI cables at monoprice for pretty cheap.

Oh, I didn't realize that the monitor took DVI as well as VGA... Thanks!

$2200? Where you getting that from? $1734 from Apple Online

I agree that this is ridiculously expensive though. Harvey Norman generally overprices things pretty badly, I would look http://ascent.co.nz/Category.aspx?majorcatID=36&minorCatID=110]here instead. Free overnight shipping too.

Instead of getting a dongle and cable, I would highly reccomend getting this instead. Much tidier and simpler
