[QUOTE="riptonhilton, post: 1789415, member: 398853"] 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.
