I perform a test, using a MiniDisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort cable, on connecting my MacBook Pro to my 27" iMac as an external display.

  • Does the iMac have to be turned on to use this feature? Since the new Thunderbolt can power a Thunderbolt/Cinema display nowadays?

  • will this work with a 21.5 inch imac???

  • Can i use a MiniDisplay in iMac 27 with PC Windows? iMac as a PC Windows monitor?

  • you have to be booted in osx for this too work? like lets say you took the HDD out of the imac would you still be able to use it as a monitor or would you have to have the os booted?

  • will this work with thunderbolt?

  • @Sytrusze Yes it does work, because im doin it with a windows machine right now. make sure you got a amd hd 6000 series those have mini display native.

  • @betul2bosan No, only 27" iMac.

  • @jwboll Yeah, did you find out about this, does it work?

  • Would this work for a pc? Currently have a fairly decent gaming pc hooked up to a 42inch HDTV, about to go buy a 27" iMac, want to know if I can then hook the pc up and use the iMac as a display for my pc?

  • hi, will this method also works for connecting macbook pro 13" to 24" iMac as 2nd monitor?

    Thanks
