I love this display!! It works great for my Macbook and my son's MBP..!!! Not being a graphics designer/re-toucher.. I don't mind the glossiness but can see where that may be a problem. Also, this Monitor is not marketed to Mac Pro's or desktop computers, it is specifically marketed towards Apple Laptops (Macbooks/MBPs) hence the short cord. This is probably the reason why so many people are having problems with the short cord. While I agree that the cord should be longer, the target market for Apple I believe is the laptop market.

I love Apple and have been a diehard user for the past 18 years....but the new Cinema Display's cable is ridiculously short. You have no choice but to have your Mac Pro on your desk right next to the display. Any further than that and the cable won't reach. Forget about putting your Mac Pro on the floor....what were you thinking Apple???? I'm going to start looking for another monitor and return this sucker.

Another expensive Apple product as always but nonetheless worth it. I am purchasing another one for a second home. I am actually using a Macbook now as my main computer and I am selling my two iMac 24"s. I work on Excel forms that are two large for a 13.3" screen and this does the trick. No more file sharing between computers as it is now all in one portable notebook.

The cords could be longer but it doesn't bother me. I use the bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the notebook closed. I travel a lot and this makes life easier coming home to my two home bases.

As with everything in life, I would like to see this display offered at a less expensive price but compared to an ordinary display of equal size it is twice as expensive but the quality is more than double that.....so you get what you pay for. How can you go wrong with a extended warranty? Two more years for $99....well worth it.

I originally had a regular widescreen monitor (Samsung) and it was a hassle to set up my Macbook Pro for use with it every time. Now I just plug in the three things and my display turns on and is a desktop computer.

So easy, and also very very beautiful. I almost wish I bought a Macbook instead of the Pro, because with this screen I hardly ever need to use the laptop anymore.

The only thing I can think of that I don't like about it is it's expensive and that I can't bring it with me to show off.

I love this display! It's everything I expected with absolutely error-free compatibility with my new MacBook Pro! The two are a perfect match. The setup was flawless and the performance has also been excellent. I've had this new gem for 4 months and have never had any problems whatsoever. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I have tested one of these to see how it was and I was disappointed , not by the panels itself, but by the poor design (not casing) but the poor amount of display interfaces, the short cables, and the cost benefit of this screen. I hope apple is reading this and takes a look at what Dell, HP, and Samsung have to offer in their IPS and S-PVA models as they IMO are much better products and they could learn from them. There is definitely hope for this model if they can revise it with better connectivity and longer cables.

Great as always and expensive as always.
Of all the wacky designs Apple has had over the years, nothing beats the classic silver and the black trim is a close second and always in style.

It worked fine the first couple of weeks. After that, the display is not recognized by my MacBook Pro. It only shows one resolution: 640x480. Nothing close to the promised 1920x1200. I hate it! I want my money back!
