Should I be able to use this to display my Samsung Chromebook (w/HDMI) on my 2012 iMac with TB input?

It should if your chromebook can be used as a monitor. But I dont know anything about them except I've heard they are fun. The macbook will surely work with this cord though.

I use this for a computer with a thunderbolt port (small end of cord) and a TV with HDMI capabilities (which is the large end of the cord). Chromebooks have HDMI and iMacs have thunderbolt ports, so it's just the opposite. I'm not sure if you can use it in that way. Sorry!Can anyone else help??

Yes, but just on Mavericks. On snow leopard just thurderbolt and HDMI Works.

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

If your mac has minidisplay port yes! This can be used, I'm pretty sure that mac computer has it

I use a HDMI cable to connect to my HP computer. I don't know if Mac computers have HDMI output.

I have not tried that and I am not a mac person, but In theory you should be able to plug any HDMI source into it. Whether it be a macbook or dvd player should make no difference. Sorry I'm not more help..

Dear Julie, Thank you for your question regarding our Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. The cable is not compatible with your iMac because the iMac has a mini DisplayPort connector. We would recommend our mini DisplayPort to HDMI bundle which will work with your iMac and HDTV. Here is the link to that product: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008VYQLA0 Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

I had no issue with my rMBP. I usually just use HDMI, but a Thunderbolt (Mini-display port) to Display Port will also work, as well as Thumderbolt to DVI.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

Love my cinema displays (have three -- one bought new, two others bought used/refurbed thru Amazon). Just be sure the display you buy has the proper video connector for your MacBook -- I can't remember the year but at some point they changed the connector from the Cinema display to the PC to the mini connector plug (rather than an HDMI or DVI).

So long as you have an output port on your Mac and a compatible cable to the Samsung (VGA, DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort), it should work fine.

Not sure what your red cable is? This is a hdmi to vga adapter. I've successfully connected a laptop to a projector and also to a vga monitor (the resolution automatically adapted). On a Chromebook you get an extended desktop view. I've found this to work well for me.

I don't think so. I bought the adapter because I had an iMac with only USB2. I suspect that on a point to point basis (i.e. no intervening hub) that it will be difficult to tell the difference between the two technologies. Certainly, I doubt it would justify the extra expense.Anon,Andrew

If it is an early to mid 2009 macbook it will not work because it has a mini DVI port However, if it is a late 2009 macbook it will work. If you are asking about the ChromeCast it will work You will need a: - HDMI port on your tv - wifi, and - a chrome browser. Pretty much you will just have to get used to using Google Chrome if you are not currently using it.

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.

i do not believe the iMac will work in the way you are suggesting. you would need to get a secondary display and get a Display Port to DVI Converter and connect to a non-iMac monitor
