Can I get some advice on the choice of monitor?
An Apple Cinema Display 27" is $1,000. An AOC 27" widescreen monitor is $250. I could get two of the latter for 1/2 the price of the former.
What is the difference, for a user like me? Not a graphics pro, not a Photoshop user, not a Mac gamer, the kids watch YouTube and Hulu etc on the Mac sometimes, sometimes we rip and play DVDs, otherwise its just email and web and homework.

I've run all manner of combinations from Cinema Displays to off brand no name 22' stuff that you can from Newegg for $150 per.
The main thing to consider is what max resolution do the monitors support.
Right now my 17" laptop has a 23" Acer as the second monitor. The laptop runs up to 1920 but the Acer only supports 1680. Everything on the Acer is a bit larger so even thought the 17 is smaller it yields more screen real estate.
So unless the bigger monitors support the full resolution of the Minis video card you might be better off with a smaller display with higher resolution.
