In this case Kanex and their C247DL cable lets you connect your older computer to an Apple Cinema Display using a full resolution dual-link DVI source to a maximum resolution of 2,560 x 1,600.

As a sign of how seriously Apple Computer is taking the Thunderbolt interface, they’re going to implement it in an upcoming refresh of their Cinema Displays. This picture was found along with others on Apple’s site showing the Cinema Display connected to Apple products, although they’ve since been removed. The design of the Cinema Display looks identical to the current model, but that doesn’t mean the only difference is the Thunderbolt port.

Apple only offers one freestanding computer monitor model: the 27-inch Apple LED Cinema Display (27″ flat panel). Unfortunately, there’s a downside; it sells for a suck-in-your-breath $999, which is pretty stratospheric even taking into account the Dock features.

Concluding the day’s desktop Mac theme, Apple announced this morning a new 27-inch Cinema Display. The new display sports a 2560 x 1440 resolution, and, because of its size, has an actual 16:9 ratio (no more letterboxing when watching widescreen DVDs!). Like its 24-inch sibling, the display is targeted at MacBook and MacBook Pro users, with a built in three-in-one cable: a MagSafe power adapter, USB plug, and Mini DisplayPort.

I had the chance to test out one of the new Apple 24″ LED Displays a few days ago. The display features new LED backlighting, similar to what Apple used to backlight the previous generation 15″ MacBook Pros. It also features the new Mini Display Port that has been integrated into the new MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs and MacBooks, as well as an iSight Camera, integrated speakers and a microphone.

Beside the new MacBook Pro, the 24″ Display looked perfect. The new designs of both products look superb together. It features the same black bezel surrounding the display, and aluminum stand, making it look very similar to the iMacs.
