The Thunderbolt display is expensive, but it also has a lot more than just the panel - it has a webcam, speakers, USB, firewire, ethernet, and a MagSafe connector to charge a MacBook, not to mention that gorgeous aluminum and glass body. Worth $999? Maybe not, but it's definitely not equivalent to a Korean display off eBay.

I don't really need webcam, speakers, usb, firewire, ethernet or a magsafe connector.

Gorgeous body would be great.

What monitor would you suggest?

The comparable Dell panel was the same price last time I checked (which didn't have all the extra ports/webcam/speakers)
