Well, got that just in time.
Got the new 27in Thunderbolt display and my old 27in display is starting to crap out. Getting weird lines and blotchy video, before I even hooked up the new monitor. Luckily a couple of restarts fixed it. But it is warning that it will die soon.

The Thunderbolt only uses the Thunderbolt connector and provides power for my laptop. BUT with that connector it has speakers, camera, microphone, thunderbolt hub, Firewire hub, usb hub, and Ethernet. The old cinema display has the speakers, camera, microphone, and usb hub, but also has a usb connector.

To bad it don't let me use the left speaker from one monitor and the right speaker from the other. Kinda made the sound one-sided having the sound output to one OR the other. Hooked up my old Klipsch speakers and sound great. Thinking about getting a camera so I don't have to aim one of the monitors or laptop for telepresence.

Will probably be back to just one monitor soon.

Definately a 1st world problem.
