Looking to hook up another monitor to iMac

Hi, I'm looking to hook up another monitor to my Late 2009 iMac, however I'm a little unsure whether it is possible
Here's the link to the monitor:

Can I do it? Thanks for your time.

Assuming the thing has any of these inputs it's fine:
Mini-display port
DVI
HDMI
VGA
You will need an adapter as a your late 2009 iMac has minidisplay port output. You will probably need a mini-display port to DVI, HDMI, or VGA adapter. Apple sells all of them in it's online store.

How do I hook another monitor up to my macbook pro (2011)

How do I hook up another monitor, besides a mac display, to my macbook pro (2011)?

Dual Link DVI allows for seriously high resolution monitors (up to 2560 by 1600 like the Apple 30inch LED Display - Not manufactured anymore), I believe HDMI has a cap of traditional 1080p (1920*1080).
Edit: according to the HDMI Wiki Article it supports resolutions MUCH higher than 1080p, it's a matter of finding a Computer Monitor that supports higher than that (as I believe most Televisions only support up FULL HD 1080p)

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,

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

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:

or > HP 20" Widescreen FlatPanel LED Monitor W2071D - Best Buy

Can an iMac have two external monitors?

It may seem like a strange question, but you know MORE is better! I currently have a 20" iMac with an 18" Sony. It's so handy, I'd like to hook up another monitor. Can anyone help? I can find no help on Apple's site. IMAGINE THAT!
INTEL DUO Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi thorny,
Generally speaking, the Apple website's support section is quite helpful. However, I don't think it's strange there's nothing about running multiple monitors on there - after all, the system only has one video out port. Likewise, there's nothing on there about interfacing the mac mini with a dead badger...
However, there is a solution to your issue. You can get "GXM" devices from Matrox which will let you add 2 or 3 screens to your Mac. For more information, please consult the Matrox website @ http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/home.php

Can i use my imac g5 as a monitor only?

i want to get into the intel world at home and i have an imac g5. i was thinking of buying a mini and hoping that i could use the monitor of the imac as the monitor for the mini (without using the computer part of the imac). i'm not sure if/how this can be done but it would save me the money of having to buy another monitor when the one in the imac works fine.
thanks

If your Mac Mini has 4 USB ports, it may have difficulty with Screen Recycler and an iMac G5. Older PowerPC Mac Minis with 2 USB ports would play better together with iMac G5s. The Intel and PowerPC Macs don't play well together with that program.
Your other options are listed here:

If migrating data to an Intel Mac, look over this user tip:

I have my AIR plugged into another monitor and after it goes to sleep sometimes it sounds like the system is running and it will not come back up.. I have to restart it. What is this.. Please help

I have a macbook air and i have it hooked to another monitor and I love it but lately it has after it goes to sleep for a while it sounds like it is trying to run the drive or fan really hard and when I try to bring it alive it does not come back to life so I have to hard boot it and then restart it. What is this...

Go into Sys. Pref , and power settings and UNcheck "put hard disks to sleep" on both power tab and battery tab.
When on projector use with your Air and a presentation, dont close the monitor or sleep your Air.
Verify any coincident applications running that can/could conflict with projector / sleep occurrence by running Etrecheck:
report back on same

Using another monitor to view large blueprints.

I would like to add another monitor to my iMac so I can view my blueprints on screen. I am clueless how to install the monitor, or even if I need to have specific specs for the monitor/TV that I need to purchase to avoid issues. Can the iMac allow me to do this ?

Monitoring CPU usage can be done using the 'top' command
/usr/bin/top -l 1200 -ocpu -F -s 5 >top.log
This will collect the same 100 minutes of 'top' output, only the sample rate is once every 5 seconds. Each 'top' sample in the top.log file will put the highest CPU using app at the top of the sample. So you could 'grep' for the application you wish to look at
grep -i lightroom top.log
and then look at all the 5 second samples and see if your app was a heavy CPU user, or if it was slacking off
Looking at the top man page "man top", you might be able to take advantage of the "-c a" if you start top when going into heavy compute mode and stopping it just after heavy compute mode and then look at the last few entries.
You might also be able to use:
/usr/bin/top >tmp.log -l 1200 -c a -ocpu -F -R -s 5
-p '^bbbbbbbbbb $cccccc $jjjjjjjjj $oooooooooo $pppppppppp'
-P 'Command CPU RSIZE PageIns PageOuts'
Where the "-c a" causes the values to be accumlative (so each entry adds to the previous counts, and the CPU is the average over the entire run. So you start this command just before the heavy work segment, and stop it right afterwards. Then look at the last few entries as that should be your cumulative summary.

Adding another monitor

has anyone added another monitor to your I-MAC? Are there ports/slots in these I-MACs?

iMacs have a mini dvi port on them, you just need to get the correct cable to connect it your an external monitor.
The cable would be either the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter:

or the Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter:

How can I make this work?
I appreciate all you support!

How do I move Adobe apps to another monitor in Mavericks?

Hi guys, sorry if I'm being obtuse, but since upgrading to Mavericks the one issue I can't seem to figure out is how to completely move my adobe apps across to another monitor.
The problem is now that apps like Illustrator CC, InDesign CC and the like- those with free floating palettes, seem to be stuck on my little 13.3 inch macbook screen unless I move each palette individually to the big screen, but then the menu bar remains on the little MBP screen. If I do anything to the workspace it all then snaps back to the little screen. In ML it seemed to treat the large screen as the primary display automatically and so this was never a problem.
I've let Adobe CC update everything, added mavericks updates, etc but still not having any luck. So far the only option i've found is to mirror the displays, which, honestly, defeats the purpose.
Is there anything I can do? This is a huge workflow issue for me because I do a lot of work on my macbook while connected to a 23" Samsung display via thunderbolt/DVI adapter. I love the size and weight of the smaller macbook but as a primary screen, 13.3 inches just isn't as comfortable to work on as 23 inches

I have this same problem. The other day I solved it using CfMcBlob's first solution, and I was very pleased. However, the problem is happening again with InDesign, but this time I can't try the same solution because "Displays have separate Spaces" is already unchecked.
Just to reiterate, I can drag my workspace window to my second monitor, but all of the tools and top menu stay over on my first monitor. I know that the "actual menu" has to stay on one monitor, but indesign has a top bar with several tools in it that I use all the time, and I'm having to go back and forth. When I first solved this problem, the entire window with the menu bar and tools would open on my other monitor.
Also, I do not want the second solution, because I still use many applications on my original monitor, and I don't want to lose having the "real" top menu here on the left.
Thanks in advance!
