I have been using the NEC PA271w for some time now. MBPro 17inch non-glare screen, 2008, 4, it worked perfectly. Today I have a pair of MBPro 8,3 17 inch non-glare screen with the thunderbolt. Works perfectly with both. You will want to use the mini display port to display port that will come with your NEC monitor, to you will have dual channels.

Hi, I wish I can take from here, for nothing beats experimented users experience when it comes to choosing a monitor. Could you please suggest a good match for a MacBook Pro Retina 15", in the 27" or even 30" range? My budget is limited to 1,5K however. The monitor is to be used in a controlled light environment, mainly for Photoshop and LightRoom, but also InDesign and web browsing. So I'm concerned with text size as well. I've used a 24" iMac matte screen (1920x1200) till now, that was fine. Some newer features such as wide gamut capabilities, lower power and more real estate would be of course welcome. I would avoid a flickering LED monitor when set a low luminance levels however, but reading the specs, some newer LED monitors seem to have non flickering technology (Eizo), which could be good. But if that choice is safer and more eyes friendly, I would stay with CCFL back-lighting such as with the trusted PA271W. I have Spyder Elite 3 to 4 and bascICColor 4 (with Spectrocam). If I can skip a bundle calibration package, it would be that much that I could add to the monitor itself. Not sure however whether these two would allow for a proper hardware calibration. And passing from Snow to Mountain Lion might reserve some surprises as well… Thanks in advance for your hints and suggestions!
regards Paul

Considering the benefits of all the MBP married tech (charger, speakers, camera, Thunderbolt, USB3, etc) I'd consider waiting for an updated fused glass LED Cinema Display and see what that looks like, and how it compares to the competition….

Hello Paul: ASUS PA246Q ProArt will do the work.
