Reasons to get this display instead of another (cheaper) brand to pair with Macbook Pro (to answer IT purchasers in my org).
I would like to get the 27" cinema display to pair with a new macbook pro that will double as my desktop and mobile computer. I am being asked why my org should spend so much more for a display when there are other monitors available. I have a couple of reasons (easy connection, recharge as soon as it's connected instead of using sep cord, Thunderbolt), but it comes down to preferring Apple/Apple products and using things that were designed to go together, which my IT manager completely rejects.
Can you give me more powerful arguments?- Asked by Kathryn C from Baton Rouge

Best AnswerThere aren't other monitors available in this category (27" IPS) which are cheaper. 24" IPS monitors at 1920x1080p are now much less expensive, but this apple is the cheapest of the higher resolution, larger size. If you want 27" and high res, this is plainly the best option available. The fact that it pairs seamlessly with your computer is an added bonus.

AnswerThe Apple LED Cinema Display should be HDCP compliant as it uses Mini-DisplayPort.
It will not run at 120Hz, there are few monitors that run at this refresh rate and all are 1920x1080 or less.- Answered by Geoff S

AnswerThere is a separate Mag-safe cable coming out of the 27” LED display that connects to the Mag-safe charging port on your 2011 Macbook Pro.
No charging occurs through the Thunderbolt connection.

AnswerNo, I wouldn't do that... BUT the base is curved and you can set your Mac Mini on the base and it will look fine. (so don't set the display on the mini, set the mini at the foot of the display).

Charging Tips
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.- Answered by Kenneth G from Beaverton
