[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 931539, member: 56379"] Hey...your logic was correct as well.:) As a brand new speedy Macintosh model, the 27" iMac would be faster than most other previous Macs out there...so using the 27" iMac as a 2nd monitor would seem a little silly in the short term if it has a faster CPU than the other Mac that would be trying to use it as a 2nd monitor. Maybe the "video in" ability on the new 27" iMac is meant more for things like an external blue-ray player, a PS3, or something else. It would only be after a couple years when newer & faster Macs are released that the current 27" iMac might become attractive as a 2nd monitor for a faster Mac. All is good,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
