The Apple 27' Display is extremely nice, but in my opinion it's not worth the money. Get a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and a cheaper monitor.

If you can't afford, or can't justify, a cinema display - try this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-013-...

The actual screen itself is the same screen that Apple put in their cinema displays (2560x1440 IPS, etc) but it's over half the price. There are a few downsides though: the monitor case isn't as nice as the aluminium cinema display, though IMO is still pretty good. Also the sound quality of the built-in speakers is pretty terrible. Still, you could buy an amazing set of speakers and still have change left from a cinema display budget :-)

Sweet, thanks a lot kaolinite!
Thanks for the feedback! Any specific cheaper monitor you use or would recommend?
