On a whim I did a quick search, and it turns out that there are actually
Thunderbolt displays other than those made by apple.
They seem to be $400-500.
I don't know which onese are good, or better, but it's nice to know that
there are options.
then it looks like this needs an update:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thunderbolt_compatible_devices#Monitors>
a Thunderbolt port supports Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, DVI and HDMI
monitors (all but the first via inexpensive adapters), so your display choices
aren't really limited by Thunderbolt
non-Thunderbolt displays have to be at the end of the chain; Apple says a
non-Thunderbolt display can't be downstream of a Thunderbolt Display, but
reports are it will work if there's an intervening Thunderbolt device
so the only reasons i can think of to seek out a true Thunderbolt display would
be daisy-chaining flexibility (assuming second port) and the ability to include
a hub with other ports
rumor is Apple will introduce a 4K monitor to go with the new Mac Pro (which
will have Thunderbolt 2)
