Can I connect my PC with HDMI out to my iMac 5k? Basically want to use it as a monitor

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

Yes you can but you'll only get 1080p on that 5K display which won't look all that amazing!

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

You can connect to the router with a cat5 cable , it has a VGA output , if your iMac has that , if it's on your network , you can view with an app

If you have an HDMI out - then yes directly. You have a DisplayPort/Thunderbolt - then get a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter - then you can connect it, this is how I connected my parents mac mini to their HD TV. Sound is separate in this case. If you are also looking for sound to travel - The best route may be use an AppleTV and send your display to the AppleTV.

Yes you can! However 4K is very and almost nothing is available in 4K. Use the thunderbolt port. Read carefully about what you need to daisy chain your monitors, and, good luck!

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

I don't know the new iMac's video card specs, so you'll want to confirm that. As far as I know, as long as you have the right thunderbolt adapter, the monitor will work fine.Edit: I see others have answered you already. :)

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

Yes it will work but you will sacrifice quality. VGA is the old video standard. If you are using an HD Mac and want the picture to show up HD then you need to use the other port on the monitor which is a DVI port. So if you want HD then you must get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor. Hope this helps!

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

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.

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

Yes and no. For example I use mine to connect from my 15in MacBook Pro that has thunderbolt, to a 27in iMac that does not have thunderbolt only mini display. I use the iMac as an external display for the MacBook Pro.

Mine came with a VGA cable. If your MAC has VGA connector, it will hook up to it directly.

you would need an hdmi cable if you have the newer macbook pro's with an hdmi input. Otherwise you do need a thunderbolt adapter for vga.

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..
