Not sure what an Emac is. I had a Mac mini that it was compatible with. Usually, in my experience, macs are compatible with other Mac products. I am almost positive it would be fine with a 2010 iMac. The Emac: not sure, but maybe you can google the question or ask apple themselves? Remember though. No camera or speakers. I loved the screen though. I have never had a compatibility issue between macs...although I have had to download extra stuff to help them talk, in the case of my old Mac that was PRE-OSX. My seller included an extra cable that I didn't even need. I bought this screen on the premise that macs are compatible with other macs....and I was right, for my part. Not sure what an Emac is.

Should work...Probably will need an adapter. Here's a link that might help:http://support.apple.com/kb/SP52

HI :) I use this on my iMac and never have any issues ! I don't see why you would either ? This is my second one ( had the first one for over 4 years and never had a problem) I would recommend it :) John

I would suggest looking at the back of the iMac, if it has a VESA mount or if you see 4 mounting points within 4 inches of each other and the center of the back of the monitor, then it should be possible. If you do not have the VESA mount, then it probably would not work for you.

Just to clarify your question: this is not a monitor. It is a computer. If you need a just a monitor this isn't for you, as there is a computer built into this. If you need an all-in-one computer with a low glare monitor your options may be limited. This is probably better then most. But, I think you would be better with getting a computer and monitor separate. Either a mac mini or mac pro and a better monitor. Hope this helps.

Some of the cables are Passive. You will not be able to use the monitor on a Mac with a Passive cable.Fortunately for me, the one I bought was Active and worked the first time.

Sorry, but my research focused on my 2009 IMac. Suggest focusing your search on your MacBook Pro 2013 or Call Apple for help. Regards, Mark

Okay, so I've spent at least the past hour trying to figure this out, and I finally give up. I had a few problems with Mac and decided to give Windows a try first. Needless to say, I never made it far enough to try it on Mac. Keep in mind, I'm not sure how a Radeon card (and it's drivers) would handle this, as I only have an Nvidia card. So after creating custom resolutions and messing with scaling in the Nvidia Control Panel, I finally got both "displays" to look and function right. The Nvidia control panel reports that I have two 1720x1440 monitors @60Hz, which is the first half of the battle. After I got that far I tried to use Nvidia surround. The Nvidia Surround configuration tool would not let me properly choose anything other than 6880x1440@50Hz. Most likely this is because the drivers detect these "screens" as two 3440x1440@50Hz displays, which is why I had to mess with scaling and custom resolutions originally (something I would consider a design flaw). So basically, the closest I got was running both of these 1720x1440@40Hz "displays" side by side, behaving as you would expect. I'm very skeptical that these are running at 60Hz too. Everything says that it's running at 60Hz, but the fact that I couldn't put them into 60Hz without making a custom refresh rate makes me question whether or not it's really running at 60Hz. Hope that helps.

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

If you want to use the iMac as a display port for the MacBook pro, I don't think it'll work. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the 20" iMac has video in.

I am using this monitor on a MacBook Pro 2014 with Mountain Lion 10.8 and now Mavericks 10.9. It requires 2 connection cables - one for the monitor (I use the HDMI, but have also used the DVI-to-mini-display/thunderbolt (which requires an adaptor)) AND a usb for the webcam. It works great. Seems like if you have an open USB port the webcam should work.

I have an iMAC and it works great (had it about 2 months). Very fast, easy to install. I don't know if there is a difference between the two computers. I'm connected via thunderbolt

The answer is yes. I ran my mid-2007 iMac 24" core 2 Duo as a TV starting in late 2007 through November 2008 from the box from Dish TV. No problem. For any help you need, go to the Elgato website.I miss it now, because I can no longer pause a TV program while walking the dog, or rewind to catch something I missed.I will be experimenting with my new monitor, a 32" Vizio, to see if I can do a feed to the Elgato while working on my computer, and still retain the HDMI interface.... ???? I'll be calling Elgato or looking for answers online.

I believe newer Macs can be used as a monitor. I looked into it for my 2008 Mac, and it was not possible. There is information on the Internet about it.

Personally, I got one because the resolution and low-light capabilities are much better than those on the 4.5 year old iMac I have. It works with every app I use on the Mac, so I am glad I purchased it. Yes, some of the Photo Booth effects don't work with it - probably because they're hardcoded to a lower resolution - but otherwise it'd better than the iSight.I'm not sure what you mean by working with a TV, but it absolutely works with a Mac and will do Skype.

This monitor has BOTH VGA and DVI, and I am currently running it on a Mac Mini via DVI. If your iMac supports an additional DVI out I can't see why it wouldn't work.

J.M., I have researched this and have no answer for you. I, too, own one of these and love it. It is beautiful and, as another MAC owner stated, am thinking of ordering another as backup. Wish to have been of more help. Enjoy, Robert

I am using it for a 2nd monitor for my MacBookPro. If your MacMini has a thunderbolt connection, I don't see why it wouldn't work for a 2nd monitor. In doing a quick search, it appears this is supported (providing you connect the 1st monitor via the hdmi-dvi adapter). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4732629?start=0&tstart;=0Happy Dual Monitor computing!!!
