Will this work as a second monitor when connected to my 2013 iMac desktop? I have the 27 " iMac. What *specific* extra cables are needed?

I can't answer specifically for the 2013 iMac, but have been using this with my 13" Macbook for over a year with no problems as my only second screen (the Macbook screen being the first). As I recall the Nixeus came with an svg and dvi cable (but not sure) and it has an HDMI option - you can get a converter for that.

The main issue is that your Mac has DVI-D port or proper DVI-Dual link gender.By the Nvidia specification, GTX285 support 2560*1660 Resolution.http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-285/specificationsMac OS X is little bit different from Windows OS.So I suggest you find more information before buying this kind of bypass monitor.Otherwise, I just want to suggest Multi port monitor. (RGB, DVI-D, HDMI and DP port)Cheers!

If your Mac accepts dual monitor output, which I'm not sure of, then it should be able to. Are you planning to connect a notebook or desktop?

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

This monitor and the iMac have some common parts. Its believe the ethernet port is there because it was cheaper to manufacture one part instead of two.

It should work. Simply launch your older iMac in target display mode while it is connected with this cable. I did this with my Laptop and the same year iMac before purchasing a thunderbolt display.

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of Macs and their Thunderbolt connection can answer. I'm not sure since I use this monitor with a Windows 7 Home Premium box with the supplied cable.

Believe that is exactly what you need. Mine is about a year older. Try to zoom in on the smaller end if the cable and compare it to the external monitor port on the MacBook.

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in White 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready

YUP, you just need to remove the normal iMac stand and get the VESA mount kit from Apple. It's like $100. I actually have my Thunderbolt display on it.

What projector do you have? Does your Imac have a place for the SVGA Cable to hook up? I don't think the Imac has a place open for the SVGA cable to hook up..?Dan

As Matt says, it should. All 27" iMacs have an optical out and this works with the optical out. FWW, it works fine on my Macbook Pro

I only have Macs. So yes to macs. From my experience it's no different then hooking up a second monitor. Pc should also work fine.

As others have said the mount and most others is VESA and the iMac is probably not. You can however buy a VESA Mount Adapter Kit for Apple monitors.

It works great for USB 3.0 on my Mac Mini. I have not tried adding a second monitor so I cannot answer that part of your question.

Yes it does. I just bought this and I have late 2013 27" iMac. It works. I did notice that for movie playback, the audio would sometimes lag behind the video. It may have just been some other factor outside the speakers, but as for music everything is flawless and easy. Also, if you don't have an alternate audio output, just use the aux line.
