Can I just connect this to my 2013 27 inch thunderbolt imac? I just need a high def monitor so I can use two screens at once. Not mirroring.

I don't know the new iMac's video card specs, so you'll want to confirm that. As far as I know, as long as you have the right thunderbolt adapter, the monitor will work fine.Edit: I see others have answered you already. :)

Oscar is correct. The Thunderbolt port is also the minidisplay port. Just buy an inexpensive minidisplay port to display port adapter from Amazon or Monoprice.

You just need an adapter for the imac's thunderbolt port. I won an imac 27" 2013 and this monitor. Both awesome.

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.

Well it is IF your iMac has a THUNDERBOLT port-then yes. Older Macs may not have this port as it's a newer development. I have a MacBook Pro- new. This SINGLE cable allow you to stream (audio and video) 1080p directly into your flatscreen via HDMI. Works great- if you have Thunderbolt. If not then I don't know what to tell you.

Yes - you will just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable. If it is a recent MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port is the same size as a Mini-Displayport connector and is backwards compatible. When connected via DisplayPort, if you set your sound output on the MacBook Air to the monitor and set the Monitor sound input to DisplayPort then the DisplayPort cable will carry both the video and audio over the single cable. You would then just need to connect a USB cable from the MacBook Air to the monitor if you want to use the USB Hub. Note, however, that since this monitor is not a Thunderbolt monitor, you will not have Thunderbolt capabilities (such as daisy-chaining thunderbolt devices) - don't think you were looking to do that anyway, but something to be aware of if you were looking for that functionality.

Just to clarify your question: this is not a monitor. It is a computer. If you need a just a monitor this isn't for you, as there is a computer built into this. If you need an all-in-one computer with a low glare monitor your options may be limited. This is probably better then most. But, I think you would be better with getting a computer and monitor separate. Either a mac mini or mac pro and a better monitor. Hope this helps.

I don't think so diane. Since I Mac is a all in one computer. You need a computer with DVI or VGA ports. Call Apple for more info. Good luck!!

I haven't tried, but to the best of my knowledge that isn't possible with any technology. Even the ultra-high bandwidth ThunderBolt connections used by Apple only allow you drive one screen per port. If you want to run dual screens you need dual ports on your computer.

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!

The Mac Pro 14" is off the question. I try to hook it up with the only way possible this monitor offers the Dual Link DVI with a apple thunderbolt or mini DV to DVI and it did not recognize it. Other wise greattest monitor I ever own, and I own almos every high end dell and Mac monitor that came out in the past 10 years

The monitor comes with one displayport to displayport cable and one hdmi cable. NOTE - I am trying to use this with a mac pro late 2013 and the drivers are not working well. I can confirm it woks with my late 2012 MacBook Pro via mini-displayport to displayport cable (1.2 compliant)

I use one of these: ASIN: B00C7RJQPY "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in Black 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready" with mine. It works great. Very happy with my monitor purchase. No regret at all.I have a MacBook Pro mid2010.

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.

YES! I run my mac book pro with Mini DisplayPort out (mini DisplayPort works in the Thunderbolt jack) to the dual link converter from Apple. It works great and I get full resolution. You will need this adapter and a dual link DVI cable (I think the Crossover monitor comes with the DVI cable). http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB571Z-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B001IF252C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406122665&sr=8-1&keywords=dual+link+dvi+adapter There is also a less expensive adapter version from Monoprice that should work but I have not tested on my Mac.

First off - I would recommend getting a better Asus monitor like the 246 or 248 - the one with LED. I sold this one already.Answer to your question is yes. You can connect macbooks to any monitory but you need the display port converter (for hdmi/dvi). As for mac tower, if they take display port, it should not be a problem. Check at the apple store.
