Can you connect the thunderbolt display to a pc with thunderbolt?
Just wondering, does it work?
Just wondering, does it work?
Currently, there is no pc with thudnerbolt port, so it is not possible, (yet)
Actually there are thunderbolt ports on some motherboards, I know Gigabyte have made at least one.
The question is would it work?
I don't know and until someone actually tests one out (by taking a PC with a Thunderbolt port to an Apple Store and trying to hook it up) I wouldn't think that anyone could answer the question.

I HAD the same question about my beautiful new 27" TB Cinema Display. I went to the Apple Store and they said their is no way to hook up the monitor to anything other than a Mac with thudnderbolt display. If something happens to your Mac--your out of luck, and you have a $1,000 door-stop. Our home went 100% Apple last year, 2-iphones, 2-ipads, 27" TB Cinema Display, MBPro and an iMac. About $8,000 worth...over $10,000 when you add the Mac software purchased. After 12 months, we are going back to PC's, GalaxyS-III phones and android tablets.
I am MAD about Apple holding us hostage to their technology.....
I can confirm thunderbolt display works on PC. I'm running Windows 8 on a Asus P8Z77-V-Pro Thunderbolt mobo.
HD facetime, USB and audio all work. The only problem is daisy chaining 2 TB displays for a dual monitor setup didn't work. Only 1 screen will work and the other wouldn't turn on. I assume it's a driver issue. In the meantime, I'm running 1 TB display off the TB port and a cinema display off my graphics card. Works great so far.
What a bizarre rant. In any event, there is no "27 TB Cinema Display", there is a Cinema Display, which is Mini Display Port only (but can take input from Macs with Thunderbolt because that can double as a Mini Display Port), and a Thunderbolt Display, which is Thumderbolt only. Who cares about how you feel about Apple and products you're going to buy? This is a thread about whether a Thunderbolt Display will work on a PC, and NYC1 replied to that question with actual facts.
Can you put your computer to sleep on windows while the thunderbolt is connected? With a macbook/bootcamp this is not possible, and is VERY inconvenient.
