There always seems to be a compromise with these. The 27" Auria from Microcenter has several different inputs (display port, hdmi, dvi), but the included stand is short and non-adjustable.

I started out with the Monoprice thunderbolt to dual DVI adapter. The version I have is buggy and won't function properly when coming back from sleep mode. You need to reboot the adapter a couple of times by unplugged the USB cable.
The early Apple thunderbolt dual DVI adapters also reported had problems. However, I have a recent version and the problems are worse. Occasionally when waking up the laptop the screen will have pixel snow. Rebooting the adapter solves the problem.

I tried a bunch of cheap DisplayPort -> Dual-Link DVI cables with my 27" Shimian, and none of them worked.
I gave up, splashed $100 on the official apple (active, USB powered) one, and it worked straight away.
It did work straight up with my PC desktop though (almost all decent new GPUs have DL-DVI output), so you don't always need to compromise with a wire purchase.

To clarify, I have the Apple adapter and I have no experience with the monoprice one, they were just the cheapest.
I tried to skimp and buy a cheap passive Dual-Link DVI - Display Port adaptor but it didn't work so I had to buy an active one. I'm pretty sure that Dual-Link DVI adaptors have to be active and they start at $70 http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&c...
