Is the display one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4fg9liWguo&list=UUwhD-eIcPPCizmVQSCRrYyQ&index=4&feature=plcp

It actually is the exact same display used in the video! A funny story.

The guy is from Germany and he wasn't happy with LG's marketing about the ultra-thin bezel so he sent it back.
I'm from the Netherlands and here, the display isn't going to be available until September.

Although I already knew about the somewhat thicker bezel I still liked the display and I decided to order the display in Germany, at the same website the German guy got it. The website listed it as 'used' so that'd be the display that was returned by the reviewer.

Still a terrific display, though :)

Hi both are nice setups. Can u Tell me why u switched from Air with ACD to the MBPr stand alone?

I need more processing power for video editing. Also after using the retina, it's very hard to go back using the regular screen.
I kinda miss the Thunderbolt Display, especially the screen real estate. Might buy the next gen version, hopefully it would be retina.

Hey,
Loving your setup! Can't help but notice your B&O. I have a record player from the 80s made by B and O that my mom shipped from denmark when they were new. It still works as well today as it did then, I have no doubts you will enjoy yours! Just out of curiosity: did you attach the speakers to your current mac? and did you keep your display?
Cheers,

Thanks! Wow, that's awesome.
Mostly I attach it via USB, because via airplay its a bit laggy.
I sold the display, waiting for hopefully the retina version.
 
Did someone post a picture of a huge wall calendar they had just received? I Swear it was in this thread, but I can't find it now. Can anyone help me out?
 
Here's my desk and the important part of my entertainment center:

Well, this is my current workspace, although it's not finished yet.

I'm waiting for second Apple Thunderbolt Display, and MBP Holder.
