Hi - I have an iMac 9.1 and was wondering if it has an HDMI lead on the back?

I dont think it does b/c I bought a regular sized HDMI lead and it does fit - there does seem to be a smaller version but not sure if that is compatible.

So, my question is - can I use a 2 year old iMac and HDMI?

Thanks!

As Rob says a MiniDisplay to HDMI adapter will work for you, they can be found all over the web inlcuding amazon.
Apple does not use standard ports like HMDI, VGA etc but instead have their own ports like MiniDisplay

HTH,
