Is an Apple Vesa adaptor needed to mount an Imac using these specific arms? Will the arms hold up a mid 2011 27" Imac?

You will need a vesa adaptor and it will hold up the weight in its specifications, but anything heavier and the internal balance spring will be overloaded so it will droop easily.

This mount only supports 14 to 30 lbs. as for the VESA mount I know the newer iMacs, you must order an iMac with the VESA mount already attached. I would call apple or your local apple store to find out if the make an adapter for your specific model.

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

Don't know. Does the iMac have the standard bracket at the back? Also the arms are rated up to 24" and I think this size is right at the limit. An iMac might be too heavy.

For Apple Monitors you may need a special adapter plate to attach. You might also need to verify the weight.

Check at the back of your computer whether you have VESA 75x75 and 100x100 mounting holes and if not you might have to give Dell a call and see whether there specific VESA mount adapter kit (like hApple they special ones for the iMac). If so then it means you would be able to MX Desk Mount arm. However, given that it maxes out at 30lbs, I would look elsewhere for something that would take up to 40lbs (to be safe side given your computer has touch screen and that you will be moving it quite a bit all the time. You might also want to look at this if you cannot get a VESA adaptor: http://www.ergomart.com/CRT-monitor-arms/monitor_arm_CRT3418details.htm

I have a 27" iMac on the stand and I have noticed that it has "swayed" about 3/16" in the center. If you plan on two 24" monitors, they will probably be set close to the sides instead of in the middle which should be ok.

I have a 2011 27" iMac and it has 2 thunderbolt 10 gb connectors on the back of it. Purchase a thunderbolt cable and you will have a far better experience than using one of the usb 2 ports.

I agree with WG's comment. I don't think the springs would work upside down because you have to tighten or loosen them depending on the weight of the monitor you would be attaching. I absolutely love my arm and it has no problem holding my 27" iMac which is on the max side of its advertised weight limit.

I know it doesn't work with the late 2013 IMac as you have to order it specifically with a VESA mount. It does work with the Thunderbolt Display. I would do a quick google search to see when apple stopped allowing you to switch out the stand. If memory serves me correctly it was after the late 2012 mode

Yes, if your 27" imac have VESA (mounting hole pattern:100x100mm, 75x75mm).

It supports my wife's 27" iMac just fine. I was concerned and was thinking of making a wooden block that could act as a leg in the middle of the back but it has not been an issue.

Yes, it'll accept a VESA mount. The stand it comes with is, as other users have commented, pretty cheap. I'd also recommend checking your arm's weight capacity: these monitors are pretty heavy - most standard arms will not be able to cope with the load.

It looks like the Thunderbolt displays require an Apple VESA adapter plate available here:http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD179ZM/A/vesa-mount-adapter-kit-for-imac-andled-cinemaor-applethunderbolt-display

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.

Hello Thomas,That display will work with this mount! You will need a VESA mounting kit since this mount is only compatible with VESA mounting holes.Apple VESA Mount Adapter Kit for iMac, LED Cinema, Apple Thunderbolt Display by VIVO (STAND-V0AP)Let me know if you have any further questions.Taylor W.VIVO

Yes it is. It doesn't come with the arm. You will first remove the iMac's stand, attach the VESA mount, and then attach the iMac to the stand. Be careful not to strip the screws (as I did by over tightening the VESA mount). There is a nice assembly video for the product on YouTube that I recommend you watch before setup. Lastly, I was originally upset with this product because it wasn't holding the full weight of my 27 inch iMac, but this was unfounded. Moral of the story? Keep adjusting the tension and it will hold as advertised. I am now very satisfied with this product. Good luck.
