Is there a way to connect this monitor to a good ol' reliable MacBook Pro with DVI out only? There are many MDP to DVI adapters but the other way?

will this work on my playstation?

I like the design of this screen, but the current 23-inch dell screen i have can be used in my ps3 if I use a HDMI to VGA cable. I wanted to know if there was a way to get the PS3 to work on this great screen?

With the monitor on a table, what is the distance from the top of the table to the top of the monitor?

I am building some cabinets for my new office/work area and I need to know the height of the monitor so I know how much space I need to put between the base cabinet and the upper cabinet.
Thanks

Would be nice for work. Is there an antiglare version?

Or at least an antiglare cover? I can't use a glossy screen fifty hours a week. That's why I bought a MacBook Pro.

Does this design not have too many flaws?

I really like the look of this display and would be tempted to shell out for it, but it seems quite ill-conceived, maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong but:

A) I have a Macbook and a Mac Pro, and would like to use this as my main monitor when I'm at home and switch between the two computers. The lack of connectivity on the back panel (just the triple cable coming out) means that I'm supposed to scramble around under my desk (if the cable even reaches that far!) to swap the display from Mac Pro to the Macbook every time? Would two triple cables have been that hard to include or at least a multiplexing box available on the website?

B) As far as I understand the display won't even work with my Late 2008 Macbook anyway because it's now old and irrelevant at two and a half years old?! And this is the only external display on offer on the Apple website?

C) There is no On/Off button, so if I'm working on the Mac Pro and want to leave it processing/downloading something whilst I go away for an hour, I'm
supposed to get down underneath the desk and bang my head again to unplug it? The only way around this I can see is setting one corner to Sleep Display in Exposé, but I don't really want to do this because I'll keep hitting that corner and sleeping it by accident?

D) Not really a question but I always like to finish with a negative; the lack of a matte option is disappointing.

Will the input cables stretch to plug into the new 13" Macbook Air given the DisplayPort and Power are on opposite sides?
