Anyone using this monitor with a thunderbolt iMac and the thunderbolt to dual dvi adapter? Seems as if it will work but confirmation appreciated.

I use with a current generation Macbook Pro with Apple "Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter" here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapterWorks, great, but you definitely need the usb plugged in as well as the mini-display, as the usb powers the adapter.

I am using that adapter with a mac mini for one of my monitors and it works fine. The adapter itself has some issues with snow at times, but if you keep the extra USB plug externally powered (ie USB to wall plug adapter) it tends to help keep snow away.

This monitor works great with a MBP. I have both for work, the only other thing I had to purchase was a DVI to HDMI cable (you could opt for an adapter instead). I plug it in and use it as my main monitor. I was so impressed I bought the 24" version to compliment my iMac at home.

You should really have a USB3 hub for this EVGA adapter. I believe you can use both HDMI and DVI simultaneously. One of my co-workers tested it out and it seemed to work fine on his 2012 Macbook Pro. You may also be able to use the thunderbolt port and get a MiniDP-&gt;DVI (or hdmi) adapter for a third monitor.

Yes, but I'm waiting for Apple to upgrade this monitor to the new flat one like in the iMac - and, perhaps Retina. Don't know why they don't do that. Probably don't sell enough of them "stand-alone" like they do the iMac. I had this one at work and it's very nice. Display is just remarkable - even non-Retina. Considering how much time you spend looking at a monitor - do your eyes a favor and get the best!

Sure, shouldn't be a problem. I've converted mine to Thunderbolt. The biggest problem overcome by using this monitor is that the power has to go through this adapter. The DVI signal is fully standard.

To display 2560x1440, you need the dual link DVI cable (came with the monitor) and a dual link DVI to Thunderbolt/USB adapter. We got the Apple brand adapter and it works well.

I have not had great success with the new macbook pro. The extended monitor goes black and I have to unplug the cable and reattach to get the extended screen back up again. The extended monitor is a PB278Q ASUS. I don't know if the cable is the problem. Apple support told me that they only support dual dvi with their adapter for 2560 x 1080.

If you have a USB and Thunderbolt connection on your Mac then you need to get an adapter that converts the DVI/VGA to Thunderbolt and you're good to go

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

No. Thunderbolt supports Mini Display port (same connector). Display port is a larger connector, and is not supported on any Mac directly.

I have a mid-2012 11" MacBook Air (Thunderbolt port) connected to a mid-2010 27" iMac (mini Display port). The is the only cable that does that. Having said this, I have found that the cable does not take much flexing, wear & tear before the tolerances of the connections start to get a little jumpy (sometimes connecting on plug in, sometimes not)/ This may be an issue of the computer too, hard to say.

YEs -I've been using them together for over a year. Use the mini DVI cable adapter. My only issue is that I would like ti screen to bebrighter - My retina screen on Macbook is seductive.

It looks to me like you can. Checking your iMac, it seems to have a mini display port; last port closest to the center on the back. The monitor seems to have a DVI-D connector. If you can confirm you indeed to have those connectors it should work. I use it with a late 2011 Macbook Pro driving a 30" apple cinema display and it works with those connectors. My cinema display is the same resolution, 2560 x 1440. This adapter also requires an additional usb connection that is only for power. I suggest you plug it into a wall charger or powered usb hub instead of into the iMac. If the plug it into the iMac and it goes to sleep, the adapter loses power and you can have display issue when it wakes up. An external power source eliminates that issue.

I can't answer specifically for the 2013 iMac, but have been using this with my 13" Macbook for over a year with no problems as my only second screen (the Macbook screen being the first). As I recall the Nixeus came with an svg and dvi cable (but not sure) and it has an HDMI option - you can get a converter for that.

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.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.
