The New Apple Thunderbolt Display Is An IPS Monitor And Thunderbolt Hub

Big surprise here, eh? These new displays were leaked by Apple itself a few days back but the company finally made them public alongside the new MacBook Air, Mac Mini and OS X Lion. The most important change, besides the inclusion of the Thunderbolt port of course, is they're now called the Apple Thunderbolt Display. Gone is the Cinema part of the name that was part of Apple display tradition for so many years. Let's pause for a second out of respect.The 16:9 displays use IPS panels that feature a 178 degree viewing angle. There's a built-in FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 speaker system, and integrated MagSafe charger for easy Mac notebook charging. The display works as a sort of Thunderbolt hub with three USB 2.0 ports, one FireWire 800 port, one Gigabit Ethernet port and an additional Thunderbolt port for daisy chaining five additional Thunderbolt device. How awesome is that!
