Ask HN: whats better??

[musiic703]

Hello my fellow hackers! I need your opinion on whats better. I have a macbook pro I want to more screen resolution. Should I get a thunderbolt display or just buy a new tv for $300? I dont have a tv.

I used a thunderbolt display at work and I cannot imagine anything that competes. I would strongly recommend one.

Thunderbolt. The resolution on the TV would be awful

Is there a big difference between Thunderbolt and some sort of HDMI hookup?
