The Apple Thunderbolt Display is a 27-inch flat panel computer monitor developed by Apple Inc.and sold from July 2011 to June 2016. Originally priced at $999,[1] it replaced Apple’s 27-inch Cinema Display. For displays it can only connect with computers with a Thunderbolt port (for data it has a Gigabit Ethernet and FireWire 800). It is incompatible with most non-Apple computers, along with Macs released before 2011 and the 2012 Mac Pro or the single USB-C Retina MacBook. Devices with Thunderbolt 3 (such as MacBooks released after 2016) using an adaptor will work with the Apple Display.[2]
The Thunderbolt Display was discontinued in June 2016, and replaced by LG UltraFine displays Apple developed with LG on the consumer end, while the Pro Display XDR succeeded it in 2019 as Apple's professional display. In 2022, the Apple Studio Display was released as the first Apple-branded consumer display since its discontinuation.
