Is there any convenient way to connect the new (Sept 2010) Apple TV to the Apple 27-inch LED Cinema Display as well as to a MacBook Pro?

One could unplug and switch input sources to send a signal to the display, but that is a clumsy solution. What is the most elegant way to accomplish this?

What is the differnce between the Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and the Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

I have a 2010 MacbbokPro without Thunderbolt.

Questions:

- Does the Thunderbolt port provide superior data transfer rates to the other ports? I presume the answer is "yes"
- If in future I upgrade to a new MacbookPro with Thunderbolt, can the Cinema Display (currently with only USB ports) also be upgraded to accept Thunderbolt? I suspect the answer is "no"

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 ?
