I have a current mac desk top and looking to add a 2nd monitor. Is this one compatible? And what else do I need for proper connection. Thanks!

If you have HDMI out put then you can easily do it. But this LG monitor too expensive, you can get a HP version for same image quality but at half the price. Your other option is use Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, or Mini Display to HDMI. If you do not have HDMI output.

No, there aren't any compatibility problems with Mac interface with BenQ monitors. I use the XL2720T with my Macbook Air via D-sub and was able to mirror the display with no problem. I also used the same connection to extend the display with no problem either.

Yup, you'll need a mac display to HDMI (or DVI as monitor supports both) adapter.

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.

Yes, I'm currently using two of these monitors on a MacBook Pro 15" 2014 using one USB 3.0 port connected to a 3.6Amp 4-port USB Hub I got from Best Buy, and using two USB 2.0 Cables. A USB 3.0 Cable is NOT required for monitor operation as long as you're connected to a USB 3.0 Port on your laptop. And just FYI on my setup, I'm using a 20,000mAh USB 2.1A battery pack to power my two monitors while I'm out and about such as at a Starbucks and it works perfectly for a good 7 hours!

It is an IPS panelSupports HDMI DisplayPort VGA & DVIYour Mac should have one of those ports

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

Well this just holds Dell monitors, that CAN connect to a Mac. As long as you have the appropriate adapters. For example, my mac mini has an HDMI port, and a Mini Display (Thunderbolt) port. So I have 2 adaptors, 1 HDMI to DVI, and 1 Mini-Display to DVI, and it works perfectly

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!

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.

We have the 2 monitors on this dual stand connected to a USB docking station via DVI & HDMI input & then the USB connection to our Dell laptop. I would think it would work the same on a Mac.

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!!!

I use this monitor with my MacBook Pro. I had to buy a Thunderbolt/mini-display to HDMI adapter (or Thunderbolt to DVI, or Thunderbolt to VGA) but the expense was minimal and well worth it.

No - it will allow your macbook to extend the desktop onto one external monitor.To add a 2nd external monitor, you'd need a USB driven graphics device.

I believe you will need an adapter as this monitor is VGA. To use with my MacBook air i needed a thunderbolt to VGA adapter

This worked for me. My monitor has a DVI out on the back and my Macbook has a thunderbolt slot. It is exactly what I got it for.

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.
