Connecting 27" iMac 2012 i7 to 2nd HP-LP2475W monitor

Could someone tell me what type of speciic cable I would need to conntect my iMac to a second monitor? I am looking to obtain the highest quality possible and hoping perhaps some sort of connect using Thunderbolt (from the iMac) into one of the copiously offerred ports on the HP-2475 (VGA, DVI-I, HDMI, Port, Component Video, S-Video, Composite Video)
Thanks!

A  Mini Displayport to Displayport cable from the Mac's Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort of the monitor would be your best choice.

  • How to adjust the brightness of a second display connected to iMAC 2012  by Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter?

    How to adjust the brightness of a second display (Dell 3007WFPHC 2560x1600 dpi) connected to 27 inch iMAC 2012 through thunderbolt port by an Apple Mini Display Port to Dual-Link DVI Adapter?

    Macs control computer by USB.  With a non-Apple display, you will have to use the brightness control on the display.

    You need a mini display port (Thunderbolt) adapter. Available online or in Apple store.

  • Connecting a Wacom Cintiq 13HD to iMac (2012)?

    I have been having issues connecting my 27" thunderbolt iMac (2012) to my Cintiq 13HD so far i have bought several adapters and have done several diffent methouds along side it. I am now at a point where the iMac screen goes blue for maybe 2-3 seconds but doesn't mirror across to the cintiq. can you help? 

    Have you updated the latest Wacom cintiq's driver?
    Do you have another (third monitor) attached to your imac? Are you using your Cintiq as "second" display?
    Some people connect the cintiq through adaptor, which would make the cintiq the third display.
    Normally, as I know, imac can get hooked up to only one monitor (as second display).  The imac wouldn't recognize the third display unless you have an adaptor. 
    In any case, if your cintiq is a second monitor, you shouldn't have the problem you mentioned.  May be the cintiq is defective or it's your driver isn't up to date.  I also have a cintiq13hd connected to an imac as second display and it works just fine.
    Hope this help.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. As both have Thunderbolt, it's as simple as buying a Thunderbolt cable, connect them and press Command and F2 keys on the iMac, so the iMac will be used as an external display for the MacBook Air. If you want more information, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302

  • ??? iMAC 2012 27" used as display for LENOVO THINKPAD T500 ???

    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 (must use for work) and my home computer is a 2012 iMac 27". I would liek to use the iMac as an external display for my thinkpad. I've read everywhere online and haven't found the answer I'm looking for!
    I bought a displayport TO minidisplay port cable (both male ends) and connected the imac + thinkpad. Executing CMD f2(displayport activating function) does nothing though. I've tried fn+CMD+f2 etc..etc..  I've read these cables can go BOTH ways... (but have also read some only go one way?) The thinkpad has a dvi output as well but I was hoping to use this DP/MDP cable to connect the two computers as it seemed more logical than using the old DVI/VGA formats...
    Has anyone got any experience doing this or anything that might help me solve this dilemma.
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi, if it doesn't have a real MiniDisplay Port, I doubt the adapter has what is needed to do it from what I've read.

  • How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

    I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
    Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

    I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
    The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
    I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

  • How to connect my imac to my tv ?

    How do I connect my Imac to my TV ? Is there an easy way, Any body can help? I'm new to the Mac world.
    Thank you in advance

    What do you want to achieve? If the goal is to use the TV as an external monitor then get a mini display port to HDMI, DVI or VGA depending on the connections the TV has. You can find each adapter at the Apple Store either online or at a store close to you.

  • How do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

    Hey rodskc10,
    Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
    Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
    For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
    For additional information, see this article:

  • How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

    You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
    It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
    Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output.  Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs.  Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.
