As if they didn’t have enough to announce today, Apple have got the Worlds first Thunderbolt Display, and at 27” it is a thing of beauty.
With built-in Thunderbolt technology — the fastest, most flexible I/O ever — the new Apple Thunderbolt Display can do things other displays simply can’t. Of course, it delivers a brilliant viewing experience. But connect it to any Thunderbolt-enabled Mac and it becomes a plug-and-play hub for everything you do. Features include a high-resolution, 2560×1440 LED-backlit display, a FaceTime HD camera, high-quality audio, three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port and a Thunderbolt port for daisy-chaining additional high-performance devices.
The cost of this beauty is £899.99, and the Apple website is showing the delivery in 6-8 weeks time.

As you say a thing of beauty, and if the thunderbolt connection is key then why not go for it; but the glossy screen will ensure that reflections are kept to a maximum and the 12ms response time is certainly not the fastest around.
I think if you can place the monitor somewhere where you dont get the reflections you will be ok. Certainly I am considering it 🙂
