When connected to the Cinema Display via my MacBook Pro. Can I close the lid of my MacBook Pro?

I am thinking of buying the new Cinema Display in 2 weeks when it's pay day. But if I connect to the Cinema Display via my MacBook pro. Can I close the lid of my MacBook Pro and still use it via the Cinema Display. Otherwise I would have 2 monitors open. And that's a lot of light!?

vertical display for the Aplle LED Cinema Display 27"

Hello everyone ,

Can anyone tell me if I can use this display with a vertical setting ? I need to work on my photos with my 2007 and 2008 iMac 24",or with my macbook Pro, but I would like to see the photos/result of the pictures on the extra cinema display 27 " just near my iMac, with the 27" cinema display standing vertical and showing a vertical image.
Does it have the same feature as the newst iPhones and iMacs, allowing a vertical display of the panel screen and of the photos ?
Is this possible ? Can it be done ? Any restriction ?

I know there have been other questions about the 27" Apple LED Cinema display working with PCs, but does it work with the Radeon HD 5770?

Others have mentioned more powerful cards such as the Radeon HD 5970, but this monitor's max resolution is at that of the Radeon HD 5770. I am going to buy a Macbook Pro with the i7 and *possibly* this monitor, if it works with my PC. I have a Intel based board with a Radeon HD 5770. I know older mac pros had these, so it works with the card in general, but does it work in a PC under Linux? I was looking at a display port male (the one on my 5770) to mini displayport female (I know the display has a mini male DP connector).

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?

Does the new 27" display have an ON/OFF button? I need a 2 monitor configuration but not all the time.

I use Aperture 3 & Final Cut Express. Would love to add this monitor to my existing 24" LED Display. But I do want the option of turning 1 display off when not working with the said software.

Can the cinema display work with boot camp and windows OS?

I have a MacBook,4,1 with boot camp and VMware and would like to use the cinema display with windows OS as well. Although the thunderbolt display highlights the compatibility with boot camp, there is no mention of compatibility with the cinema display.
