This is my first mac and it is unbelievably great. I was able to get one used after suffering with windows machines because of price.
I would like to hook it up to a 27" monitor. I see it has the thunderbolt output but I don't understand what my options are given the specs.
Can I use any thunderbolt monitor?
Given that the thunderbolt monitor is expensive what type of monitor could/should I use for best results instead and what kind of adapter is required?
Thank you so much in advance. Here are my detailed specs.
