Does anyone know if someone makes an attachment for the Cinema Displays so that you can use a light pen and turn it into a really big graphics tablet? Me thinks that Photoshop and a 23" display would be niiice.

I don't know of anything for the cinema displays, but Wacom makes LCD displays with built-in wacom tablets so you can draw directly on the screen. CintiQ, i think they're called, and they're quite expensive.

Yeah, I've seen those but problem is they're not as large or nearly as cool as a Cinema Display.

Light pens only work with CRTs, as they rely on the fact that on a CRT, only one pixel is actually ever lit at any one moment. LCDs display all pixels simultaneously, so a light pen could not ascertain its coordinates.

There are companies that make finger-touch-sensitive upgraded versions of Apple displays and iMacs, but that doesn't do what you want.

Realistically, your only option is probably the Wacom Cintiq, which is wildly, horrifically overpriced.
