Bottom line, this is an absolutely stunning monitor. The mini display port connection works great with a macbook pro. The only downside is the short cord. I don’t know how they could be this dumb. I just got the new mac pro with the mini displayport and I have to crawl under my desk to switch between mac pro or macbook pro. Did they really think that 4 feet of cord is reasonable. When you spend nearly $5000 on a system, you’d think you would be able to put the computer where you want it to be. Hoping the extension comes soon.

It is either a stupid design fault or irresponsible marketing. I just bought 2 displays. Nowhere did I discover prior to purchase that they are almost impossible to use with a Mac Pro because the cables are so very short. I’ve moved my Mac onto my desk and just managed to connect them, but I have to stand up to use the CD/DVD tray.
The image quality is great, but one of the displays first ran with a vertical purple line that has now turned pale yellow. It is back to the reseller for a dispute tomorrow. This is my first serious Mac Grump in 25 years.

The cables are too short for my Mac Pro. I have to use two video cards since Apple doesn’t make a card with two Mini-DP outputs. I can’t stand the glare.
I paid $1500 for my last CRT monitor in part because of the quality of the anti-glare coating. I want to see my work, not myself or things behind me. Why has this escaped Apple? Back to the Apple Store these go. You would think they would have a good option for professionals considering they sell $5,000 desktops! Please,
Please provide a matte display and either give us cables that are long enough or give us a free set of extension cords (like on the aluminum keyboards). A modern video card with two mini-DP ports and 10 bit color would be quite nice as well.

sorry but i have to say that i was really fast decided to buy the display, but also fast disapointed. i bought a new power mac two 2.8 quad in march 2009. i bought the display today (28th october) to find out @ home that i cannot connect the display to my mac because of the HD 2600 XT graphic card.
i just got of the phone with my apple reseller who told me that i even could not change the graphic card. So think about it when you’re decided to buy this display. i’ll return tomorrow to my reseller to get my money back.
