What about using one of these adapters to make using a standard HDMI input display of 1440p or more possible ?
Have to be shipped from China and are quite expensive. Hard to tell whether it will work or not. Some risk involved.

I will be following this with interest. I have a spare Apple thunderbolt 27" monitor I bought for parts (I think I can repair the power supply). I also have a Dell AIO 9010 motherboard, and I'd be curious to cobble together a working system if you prove successful!Reading about Apple's 27" Thunderbolt Display A1407 LCD 2560 X 1440.

After some GoogleFu 'Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display A1407 parts', I came across the following, a 40 pin eDP cable.

Thanks BGG, I think the Thunderbolt Display is a risk worth taking, even if I can’t get it it to work via eDP. Isn’t there an impossible to reach thunderbolt port on the logic board?
The thunderbolt port is not that bad to get too, however if using a standard cable, you will need to trim the plastic around the connector to be thin enough to fit. Otherwise, it is a standard port.
ok, I was lead to believe it was more difficult!. Ive just secured one from Craigslist for $100, good condition and boxed, picking it up after 5pm today.
if it is connected, then it should be on if it is like a laptop
