A couple of years ago I purchased a Thunderbolt capable motherboard , and an Apple's 27-in Thunderbolt Display-rather than it's (now-discontinued) Apple LED Cinema display-to go along with my Apple iMac 2010 (as a dual-display setup) which I was primarily using as an LED monitor for my Windows 7/8 PC. Boy was that a mistake.
Thunderbolt support on non-Apple computers was TERRIBLE back then. Maybe it still is terrible still, but I got some good news after all this time.I had nothing but problems trying to get the Apple Thunderbolt Display to work alongside my ATI Radeon HD 7970 and the iMac (display port LED monitor).LucidLogix Virtu MVP Software was buggy and unstable.Photoshop wouldn't work with graphic card acceleration support.Trying to see the BIOS (post screen) was non-existent with the Thunderbolt display. Had to unplug that and only use the iMac display port connection connected to the ATI Radeon HD 7979.Long story short, I ended up using my 27-in iMac as a primary monitor, and had the Apple Thunderbolt Display sitting on my desk for 2 years, doing nothing but looking sweet.

Because if nothing else, Apple has my kind of taste when it comes to appearances. I love modern/minimilast/industrial, or whatever you want to call this, style.This was the initial studio setup about 3 years ago.
The Apple devices look great. And, if you're wondering, yes I primarily use Windows, but have no problems using Apple OS X. I've been obsessed with computers since the Amiga and Commodore 64 days; before most people thought of computers as something that only nerdy people use-that is before 'nerdy' or 'geeky' was considered a positive attribute.Anyhow.On to the main point of all this.
Just today, as I'm extremely swamped with projects, and BOOM, the iMac completely died, the screen turned off and the internal fans went full blast, shooting dust and black crap out it; never heard the fan anywhere near that loud (but I did read a while back that people experienced this when they tried replacing their HDD and the internal temperature sensor wasn't reconnected properly-on my the HDD went bad about a month ago, making OS X useless (took like 10 min to boot) but I didn't mind since I was only using it as a monitor. So I was like, 'shit. At least I still have the Apple Thunderbolt Display'.So not having to worry about dual-display, or having to use my ATI card for any 3D or Video production intensive tasks, the integrated Intel HD 4000 display is good enough for my current needs.So I plug in the Apple Thunderbolt Display, and 'BOOM it works! Now after coming off my relief and excitement, I now notice a GLARING problem: the display is extremely bright. It's almost impossible to use it at this brightness level; especially at dark.'
Knew things were going too good.' Cd C:driversBootCamp5.0.5033BootCampDriversApplemsiexec /i BootCamp.msiAnd that should do it. Reboot your PC and and you should now see a black diamond (Boot Camp) icon in the notification center, next to the time (where volume is located)To control the brightness without an Apple keyboard, just click that Boot Camp icon, wait for it to load (it takes about 5 or more seconds for whatever reason) and click the 'Brightness' tab, and the rest is self explanatory.If you have an apple keyboard, you can just use the F1 and F2 keys (the ones with sun icons) to control the brightness-Apple keyboards by default have the 'fn' key option enabled, opposite of regular keyboards. Meaning, if you wanted to use F1, F2, F3, etc on an Apple keyboard, you'd have to press the fn+F1, fn+F2, fn+F3, etc.BTW, the Apple keyboard drivers, unlike the Apple Thunderbolt Display drivers, can be installed just by running.
