I just bought a Macbook Pro and I have a cinema display from my previous computer. Is there is any way I can use this thing for like a TV? Is there any hardware out there that I can turn it into a TV like a tuner or something?
Thanks

Many HD cable boxes have either DVI or HDMI outputs. You could use that to output to the cinema display. Which display do you have?
Too many Apple/Mac products to even bother listing!

Sure. Put it on ebay. Use hte profits to score a LCD TV from fatwallet.com. I saw refurb'd Phillips 32" LCD TVs going for $392 with shipping a few days ago. Your cinema should sell for more than that.
