A skeptic might think they want to exhaust their inventory of MDP - level cinema displays before reporting that the new ones work fine If anyone has tried them to confirm, I would like to know.

I will stop by the local Apple store tomorrow and do a little test Aug 22, 6: I mean.. Aug 22, To continue the theme of contradictory information, I called into the flagship Apple Store in Regent Street, London yesterday evening. I explained the dilemma and the sales assistant went off to ask the "technicians" whether it would work as a display for the older Macs and in my case, I need it to work for a DisplayPort based PC. He was fairly sure it would work before he asked them and they confirmed it should work.

I still wasn't convinced so he suggested we try it I had my MacBook with me but after searching, even this large store still doesn't even have a display model.

My dilemma was now whether to get the older Cinema Display which I knew would work and was in stock, or wait. The risk was that they sell all the ACDs, don't make any more, and I'm left with no solution. In the end, I did purchase the older ACD, knowing I've got 14 days to return it if the Thunderbolt Display does turn up in this time and against my expectations works with non-thunderbolt kit. It is a lovely display, and worked better than I expected with a Windows PC - I didn't install any drivers or other software and video, audio, the USB hub and even the iSight camera all worked fine which is worth bearing in mind - the FaceTime camera definitely won't work over displayport.

Sep 10, 4: So you can plug an old MBP into the thunderbolt display with a minni display cable hooking into the thunderbolt plug in on the back of the display. You will have the "original" TB-cable not used and you will neither be able to use the USB and ethernet connections on the back of the Display nor the in built camera and microphone. One will see, wether this kind of adapter will be sold, otherwise I don't see any other chance to use these features. Sep 22, 5: Have I cleared all doubts? I gave up waiting in the end, and bought a DisplayPort Cinema Display.

At least that way I can also use the USB-based peripherals such as the camera and USB hub with my older equipment - there's no way they would have worked with the Thunderbolt display, even if the display had worked. I can always get a thunderbolt hub later to add all the other bells, whistes and "single cable solution" you'd normally get with the TB display:.
