Conectar un monitor a un imac

Hola,
desearía saber que necesito para poder conectar un segundo monitor (concretamente un ASUS VH226H ) a mi IMAC de 21.5" (lleva 2 puertos Thunderbolt)
Gracias
Jujar.

Bienvenida
Éste es un caso un poco confuso, porque he visto gente que ha podido utilizar el iMac como monitor para un PC y otra que no.
Para empezar, Apple dice que todos los iMacs con puertos Thunderbolt y los iMacs de 27 pulgadas pueden ser usados como monitores para otros Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Sin embargo, no dice nada sobre PCs. En el caso de los iMacs con Thunderbolt (iMacs de mediados de 2011 y finales de 2012), solamente pueden ser usados como monitor para otros Macs con Thunderbolt, por lo que no puedes utilizarlos con un PC. Esto es debido a que no puedes usar uno de los adaptores de Mini DisplayPort con este iMac si quieres usarlo como monitor (sin embargo, esto sí funcionaría en el caso de querer conectar una pantalla externa al iMac).
En el caso de un iMac con Mini DisplayPort, más de lo mismo, porque el PC debe tener un conector Mini DisplayPort o DisplayPort, muy limitado y que probablemente no tendrá tu PC

  • How do I connect another monitor to my iMac?

    I would like to add another monitor to my iMac, an HD TV I am no longer using.  How can I do that? I assume I need certain cables, etc, but not sure how this works.
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    Late 2009 iMac 20inch, and the TV is an LG about 5-6 years old.
    (I am not sure about Thunderbolt!)
    Thanks!

  • Connecting a Iiyama 27' monitor to an iMac

    After checking with the supplier that it would work with my very recent iMac (OS 10.9, 4 Gb graphic card) , I bought a Iiyama 27 inches monitor with a 2560x1440 pixel resolution to use as a second monitor in dual mode.
    I tried to connect this monitor to my iMac using 1st/ a minidisplay to DVI adapter and later, with a recommendation from Apple Care 2nd/ a minidisplay to HDMI Moshi adapter.
    In both cases, I get a picture on the display, but I cannot get the full resolution. The monitor supplier (namely Pixmania.com) is hopeless, so I try the Apple community as there has to be a number of people who chose this Iiyama monitor as a companion to their iMac – not as shinny but substantially cheaper than the Apple display.
    Question is therefore: how do I get this monitor to display at full resolution in a dual monitor config? What kind of cable / adapter do I need? Has anyone successfully tried it?
    Thanks

    If the display has DisplayPort, use a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.
    <http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=102&cp_id=10246>
    To get full resolution with DVI, you need a DUAL-LINK DVI adapter.

  • MacBook Air with MiniDP as external monitor for 27" iMac

    Hi,
    I just found out, that the new iMacs can be used as external displays for MacBooks with MiniDP.
    Now I'm considering to buy an 27" iMac, but I've one question:
    As my MacBook Air is much slower than an iMac, I was wondering if I could get my MBA (or any ohter MB) in Target Display Mode, with the Command/F2 key combination?
    I know about ScreenRecycler, but I want something that works right out of the box;)
    As you can connect 2 iMacs together and use either one in Target Display Mode, I hope the same will be possible with an iMac and an MBA
    Thank you

    You can put the 27" in target display mode to act as a monitor for the MBair but the reverse is not true. You can't make the MBair a monitor for the iMac 27".
    Regards,

  • Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top?

    Can I use another monitor with my iMac desk top? Our monitor screen is going out and would like to have another option then replacing the whole thing! I think A LCD TV would be less expensive than the repairs to our iMac.( OS 10.6.8 )

    Yes, but we need to know exactly which year model you have? So that we can advise you on exactly which adapter you need for you iMac.
    see > How to identify iMac models
    Plus, adding that Computer Monitors make better displays than TVs and comparatively cost a little less than TVs.
    For examples of monitors that have both DVI and VGA inputs:

  • Use a second monitor on a iMac G5 without iSight.

    I'm wanting to use a second monitor with my iMac G5.
    My iMac doesn't have Front Row or the iSight camera. It's the G5.
    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    But the problem is that my monitor I would like to use as a second monitor doesn't connect through S-Video, it connects through a VGA. Is there another adaptor?
    What do I need?
    Pardon, if I have posted this message on the wrong area of the forum.
    Any links, suggestions, ideas, or anything would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    Actually that's wrong. You need the Mini-VGA to VGA adapter, referred to in the Apple Store as the "Apple VGA Display Adapter".
    I trust that you are aware that your iMac officially only supports video mirroring, so that any external monitor you connect will show the same picture, at the same resolution, as your iMac's internal screen?
    BTW, for future questions, I'd suggest you try asking in the iMac G5 area. This forum is for the new Intel-based iMac and so perhaps not the most likely place for you to get a quick and accurate response.
    Good luck.

  • Secondary monitor issues with iMac after 10.6.5 upgrade

    After the upgrade to 10.6.5 yesterday, my second monitor on my iMac has been turning to snow, and then coming right back to normal about every 10 seconds.
    I've tried rebooting with and without the monitor connected, and I'm still getting the same problem.
    Anyone one else having this issue?

    Tried the Time Machine restore with no luck. The second monitor was still flashing away. Also tried Disk Utility to verify the disk then applied the Combo update. Again no luck.
    The only way I was able to fix it was by wiping and reinstalling Snow Leopard from the installation disk. The monitor worked fine until I installed the 10.6.5. update and it went back to the same thing.
    I wiped everything again and did the combo update back to 10.6.4. Now everything's working just as it should.
    Sounds to me like it's a driver issue... Is there a way to feed back to Apple my model numbers and the problems I'm having? (other than sitting on the phone for hours)

  • FCP & CRT Video Monitors with 24" iMac

    I am considering the purchase of a 24" iMac with the optional 7600GT video card for video editing. I have read that the $19 Apple "Mini-DVI to Video Adapter" will give me audio and SVGA outputs to connect to a TV/CRT monitor. But I have read many user comments that claim the LCD display in the iMac suddenly changes resolutions when this Mini-DVI adapter is plugged into the iMac. But those comments don't say if it happens to every iMac (including the new 24") or just to older iMacs. I also wonder if the 7600GT video card makes any difference.
    My intention is to edit video in FCP on this 24" iMac and I wish to view full resolution standard video on a CRT video monitor. But I would prefer it if the resolution of the iMac screen didn't change while I view the video on the CRT monitor. I want to see the iMac display at full resolution and the CRT video monitor at its full resolution, at the same time. Is this possible with a 24" iMac that has the 7600GT video card? Or am I forced to get a more expensive Mac Pro system to accomplish this feat?
    Many thanks.

    I wish to view full resolution standard video on a CRT video monitor.<<</div>
    As Zeb pointed out, your method is NOT the way to properly view FCP's output on an external TV monitor. To do it the right way, you'll first need to determine which video formats you'll be working with; all DV25 formats can be monitored via the Firewire output through a qualified DV device (camcorder, VTR or converter). All other formats will require the addition of a dedicated card, such as those offered by Kona and Decklink, or a box like the MXO by Matrox.

  • How to use an iMac as a second monitor for an iMac

    I have two 21.5 inch iMac's (late 2009) and I want to use one as a second monitor for the other. I have a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort connector but when I connect it to both computers, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong once they're plugged in or if I have the wrong cable all together. Any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Not going to work, the ONLY 2009 / 2010 iMacs that supported Target Display Mode were the 27" models, 21.5" models simply will not work. Please read Apple FAQ on TDM and you will see I am correct.
    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    While Neil is correct, Screen Recycler's performance is not that good so the user experience probably will not be worth it.
