iMac 27 compatible as a second monitor?

Yes it would be. You can use either a displayport to mini displayport cable, or since it is only 1080p, you can use an adapter.

I doubt it. The ViSee device needs a yellow RCA plug connection. My old iMac has no place to inset this kind of plug. On the other hand, I have a spare monitor with that kind of connection and it works fine without being hooked up to a computer.

It comes with VESA adaptor that works with the following models: 24-inch iMac (aluminum and glass) 27-inch iMac 24-inch LED Cinema Display 27-inch LED Cinema Display 27-inch Thunderbolt Display

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.

As long as you're mounting one of the supported iMacs this includes all the hardware you need which includes a mounting plate. The compatible iMac models are mid-2007 through mid-2009 24" iMac, Late 2009 through 2011 27" iMac, 24" & 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays, and 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display.

Yes, it is. I actually have two of these monitors connected to my MacBook Pro Retina. Of course you'll need Apples VGA adapter though.

Yes, as long as the iMac has the VESA style mount on its backside. For newer iMacs, you must special order the computer as having a VESA mount. Most new iMacs have a non-removable stand arm (w/o VESA mount). The M8 monitor arm is compatible with old iMacs as long as you also use the VESA adapter, available from the Apple store, and unscrew the stand arm prior to installing the adapter and M8 monitor arm.

This monitor works great with a MBP. I have both for work, the only other thing I had to purchase was a DVI to HDMI cable (you could opt for an adapter instead). I plug it in and use it as my main monitor. I was so impressed I bought the 24" version to compliment my iMac at home.

Yes, I have tried this on an older mac mini with Snow Leopard and a newer mac mini with Maverick. There are different drivers at www.displaylink.com for the two operating systems and each installed without problems and were quick to set up through the Display option of System Preferences. On the mac, you can set the desktop backgrounds to be different, which is not an obvious option on Microsoft Windows (I plan to check if it is possible). The highest resolution monitor I have used as 2nd display is 1280x1024; the specs say that it will work up to 2048x1152.

Yes, but I'm waiting for Apple to upgrade this monitor to the new flat one like in the iMac - and, perhaps Retina. Don't know why they don't do that. Probably don't sell enough of them "stand-alone" like they do the iMac. I had this one at work and it's very nice. Display is just remarkable - even non-Retina. Considering how much time you spend looking at a monitor - do your eyes a favor and get the best!

The Mac Mini only has two SO-DIMM slots and one Thunderbolt port; this one has four and two, respectively. The non-server Mini sports a dual-core i5 (or i7); this has a quad core i5 at higher clock. If you go for the Apple brand, the 27" external monitor costs over nine hundred dollars... (and the keyboard and pointing device aren't included with the Mini). Finally, you may be able to use this computer as a 27" monitor (the old ones did)... the iMac is clearly a better deal. An i7 MacBook Air plus Thunderbolt Display, on the other hand, is a compelling setup...

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.

I don't think so, but it's close. I have a 15" laptop and a 32" monitor on mine, and you might be able to get them to fit if you have them hanging off the edge on either side. I wouldn't venture to say 'yes' however unless I saw it done, and I'm also not confident about the weight. I don't think it would be wise to have a 27" iMac with half its weight hanging off the side; I'd reckon the stand would be right at the edge in both cases, so unless you rig some kind of vise or some other way of making sure they don't tumble, I'd be leery of it.

Yes. Many people in my office have been using this with both a laptop and a 24" monitor so a 27" iMac safely.

As an answer to your question I do not hook up an additional monitor to my iMac. The iMac screen is adequate for me so I wouldn't suggest hooking up in additional monitor unless you having problems thank you.

Just read this and wanted to mention that the apple monitor on the imac is much higher resolution than any 300 dollar 27 monitor you could pick up for the mini. so if you want as high def as the imac you will have to either get an apple monitor or a better quality monitor for around 8-900 dollars. if you will be running at slightly lower resolution as some people do, than you can go with a cheaper monitor and its not a bad deal. but ya, the mini is not as powerful as the imac either.

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.
