As a desktop display and USB extender, the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display works wonderfully; however, for $1,000, there are better monitors that offer more options, including PC and Mac compatibility.

Overall the new 27-inch LED Cinema Display isn’t the knockout I had hoped it would be. ... With a 120Hz panel and RGB LED backlighting it could have been both forward looking and near perfect, instead what we have is a display that’s good, but not great.
Read the full review →Its glossy screen and lack of easily accessible color and ergonomic adjustments might turn off some users, but for most fans of the Mac aesthetic, this display will fit nicely into both their workflow and their workspace.

The 27" LED display replaces both the 24" and the long in the tooth 30" cinema display in Apples line. The 30 was the standard, the 24 was beautiful, and this is above both. The contrast and resolution give you as much pixel space as the 30" and the display properties of the...

Wonderful display, best I've ever had. Clarity is superb, the design and aesthetics are both top notch, and colour quality and depth are also excellent. The ports on the back would be easier to get at if they were on the side in the bezel for instance - say in the bottom? But that's a minor...
