Leaked part numbers that were previously thought to be a Mac Pro or MacBook have now been revealed as a new Thunderbolt LED Display by Apple themselves.
MacRumors discovered that Apple prematurely posted a new image on its site depicting the display and identifying it in the URL as the "MC914" part that had been previously thought to be a new MacBook.
The display appears essentially identical to the existing LED Cinema Display from the front, although Apple's new promotional image displays a Lion desktop background rather than the Snow Leopard one found on the images for the current model. The rear of the display will obviously include a Thunderbolt port in place of the current mini DisplayPort connection.
An image was even found of two displays being daisy chained together as is only possible with Thunderbolt.

Yes Paul your missing the resolution part. A big led tv would suck as a monitor

Well yeah, but it didn't say much in regards to resolution. Is it going be retina-esque?

Why would any one buy this? You could just get a huge LED tv for that price and hook it up to your mac. Am I missing something here?

I'm not trying to argue...it was a serious question! What serious things can't an led TV do? When we learn the actual specs of this screen I might get a better idea I guess.
