I just bought the old display in PERFECT LIKE NEW condition through eBay and LOVE IT, paid $700 for the condition and do not regret it. Yes, I know what I could have bought new for $700, and I did buy a DELL high end 27" that is a great monitor, but I like using the old Apple which is almost as good. I am running them on M1 minis. Your review is spot on, and you are so good at this, get right to the issues, no screwing around, good for you. I wish you all the best young man. Whatever you do you will be successful.

I bought a 27-inch Thuderbolt display a few months ago, and it really does hold up. I managed to snag one for about $150 on the facebook marketplace, and it's definitely one of the best purchases ive made this year.

Thumbs up, Taylor. Totally professionally done!!

Great video! I use this with my windows laptop currently. I color calibrated it and actually use it professionally for my wedding photography. Really happy with it.

Just picked one of these up as a dual monitor for my 2012 mbp, amazing value these days!

I believe that for the sound test, you need to place the mic, where your head would normally be! But gray comparison over all, thank you! Very helpful

Great video. Love the cinema led display so much. I also have the Cinema HD 30“ one. They both look great and have great colors ❤ thank you for this comparison

Thanks for this detailed vid. The red laser in the middle of the video was cool and appropriated.

Thunderbold Display has also a cooling System

Apple Cinema Display has one advantage over the thunderbolt display or Studio Display for me - the former is compatible with my Windows-based laptop, while the latter does not even using a thunderbolt dock station, so I can use the same monitor for both my Macbook Pro 13" and Dell Laptop from work.

[MediSpring]

The unbeatable advantage of the 2022 model is the one-cable-approach via USB-C. I love it just plugging in my M1 MBA with one cable and I can start working. Speakers, webcam, mics and display make the 2022 model perfect.

Great video. Can you point me to your video on how to connect the Thunderbolt Display to a pc? Thanks!

[MrMusic]

I'm doing the old and the new setup with my M1 Max except with the 2011-16 thunderbolt display model. The thunderbolt display works perfectly with the apple tb3-tb2 adapter and my M1 Max. Looking forward to receiving the studio display sometime this year hopefully. lol

I am rocking the same two monitors, the studio display connected to my MacBook Pro 14 and the Cinema Display connected to my work PC Laptop. The problem after some PC updates, my sound on the Cinema display is glitchy, I now have have to connect my Logitech Brio webcam straight to the docking station instead of back of the monitor and I had to unplug the USB from the monitor to the docking station. The sound still works through the mini DP connection. Still working with this workaround.
