Is the "DisplayPort" the thunderbolt port on the side of the mac?

Yes. Thunderbolt is backward compatible with DisplayPort. I'm using this very same cable to connect my Macbook Pro Retina to a Dell monitor without any problem whatsoever.

The dock only ultimately provides one thunderbolt connection. So with my early 2011 macpro I still had only ability to have one additional monitor but I don't have an HDMI connector. Not sure what the Air has. Ultimately I bought a new MacBook Pro with two thunderbolt displays and now have two external monitors and the laptop display. Love it and it gave me an opportunity to upgrade.

What you have is a Thunderbolt port. Here is part of the Wikipedia entry on it: Thunderbolt was developed by Intel. It was commercially introduced on Apple's 2011 MacBook Pro, using the same Apple-developed connector as Mini DisplayPort, which is electrically identical to DisplayPort, but uses a smaller, non-locking connector. Though the Thunderbolt trademark was registered by Apple, full rights belong to Intel which subsequently led to the transfer of the registration from Apple to Intel.[5]

No. This a thunderbolt connection which is used on new macs. You should probably look for a lightning connector.

Yes this works with a display port and thunderbolt.A display port on a Mac only works with displays and display related cables (such as this one), the thunderbolt supports both display and data transfer (such as an ethernet adapter). Thunderbolt is just a more advanced display port that can do more.If you're machine is new, then it would have a thunderbolt port (identified by a lightning bolt symbol). A display only port's symbol is a square in-between two vertical lines like this |□|

You need to use the displayport cables to display at 2560x1440. If your Mac has Thunderbolt connectors you'll need a miniport (thurnderbolt) to displayport adaptor. 2560x1440 will not display with HDMI nor DVI.

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

I don't have a MAC , mine is PC. I need a converter - Atlona DVI to Mini displayport (AT-DP400 )

no, it has standard hdmi connectors on both ends, the Macbook requires another connector specific to mac's.

Can I plug a thunderbolt display into it with Mac Pro early 2008 (MacPro3.1)?

Display port (DP) and Thunderbolt use the same connection. The thunderbolt wire is a higher quality video connection, but the port itself is interchangeable between the two wires. I found an informative article on Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_%28interface%29. I use the thunderbolt to directly connect my Macbook to the HDMI port on my television.

Sorry, I didn't try it and currently don't have access to a macbook to test. However I can say this monitor does its job very well and have both VGA and DisplayPort inputs.

I am pretty sure all of the thunderbolt ports are the same. We use this on an iMac and on a MacBook Pro without a problem.

I do not have one to test, but if you mean Apples display port to DVI-D adaptors, they should work, but you need to check on something first. Try to look up if your adapter is "single link" or "dual link" DVI...If it is single, you will run into problems with the resolution of this monitor, you need to have a DUAL LINK cable for higher resolutions. Given that Thunderbolt displays I have seen are at high resolutions, I would presume that it would be dual link DVI.

it has the normal (large) dp cable on both ends you would need something like this --&gt; http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00HNF0KF0/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_4 or http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00C7RJQPY/ref=zg_bs_6795232011_1 Hope the info Helps

Yes, I use this display at full resolution with my MacBooks. I'm using this cable: "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable" for my Macs, and this cable "Cables To Go 26911 DVI-D Male/Male Dual Link Digital Video Cable" for my Windows workstation.
