How do I connect multiple model monitors to my MBP?

I have a MBP and two displays: Thunderbolt and Cinema. Is it possible to connect both monitors to the MBP?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Not sure, but "Maybe"


I think I've seen where you can connect a Thunderbolt display via a Thunderbolt cable to a Macbook Pro (which must be using Descrete graphics). Then a 2nd Thunderbolt display is daisy chained to the 1st Thunderbolt (I think via another Thunderbolt cable.


If my memory is accurate, then maybe it would be possible to get a Thunderbolt to Cinema display adaptor, and plug that into the 1st Thunderbolt display.


This is all just speculation, as I have not tried driving more than a single external monitor. The largest being my 27" iMac via a DisplayPort cable. I think the 27" iMac is the same pixel density as the Thunderbolt display. But my 27" iMac only had the 1 DisplayPort port, so I could not daisy chain anything beyond my iMac.
