[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1353071, member: 38928"] You say you've done this using a mini-dp to HDMI adaptor? AFAIK this adaptor is used to connect a device with a mini-displayport OUT to a display with HDMI IN. E.g. connecting a MacBook to a TV. Don't wish to doubt you but I don't believe it's possible to use this sort of cable to connect an XBOX360 to an iMac. Happy to be corrected. In fact I hope you're right as it's a much cheaper solution than the one I'm aware of. To my knowledge to do what the OP was asking requires: - a 27" iMac pre-thunderbolt(only the 27" models have mini displayport IN) - a convertor to convert HDMI to displayport ([URL="http://www.kanexlive.com/xd"]like this[/URL] or [URL="http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=508267"]this[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
