justinborjaUnless you are looking especially for Thunderbolt Daisychaining with another monitor or a different Thunderbolt peripheral, you can save yourself the cash by using this with a mini-dp (Same as the thunderbolt connector) to full sized display port cable. I have set a similar scenario up with my Dell monitor which included a mini-DP to DP cable which plugs straight into my Macbook air.

TechGuyI generally agree TechGuy! I had an issue using DisplayPort with a Lenovo that I used with this monitor prior (a few months ago) - the DisplayPort (unsure what version) did not support 3440x1440 @ 60hz... it would only support 30hz. I dug around and even talked to LG tech support and confirmed with them that in order to use 60hz at max res on this monitor, I would have to use Thunderbolt. Of course, no big deal now because I have MacBook Pro.
Thunderbolt is capable of supporting 3440x1440 @ 60fps, and I was always under the impression that DisplayPort does not. I looked at DisplayPort Wiki and it appears there are updated versions that now do. So that's awesome.. thanks for the tip!
