[QUOTE="CastFire, post: 1012839, member: 146592"] i've recently bought an iMac 27" intel base, and with it i bought a mini displayport to dvi adapter. i have been told that i am somehow able to put video input into the iMac to use it as a display. however when i tried to use the iMac for a display for my Xbox 360, nothing happened. My setup is: Xbox 360 -> HDMi to DVI Cable -> DVI to mini displayport adapter -> iMac 27" on the apple website, in the tech specs of the iMac, it says that on the 27" versions i can use the Mini Displayport to put input into the iMac to use it as a display. The setup previously mentioned does work, but with output; i have connected the HDMi end to my TV and i am able to use the TV as an extra display for the iMac. Can someone please tell me how i can get the Video Input to display on the iMac screen. Preferably with the Previously mentioned setup, I'm not too keen on buying more stuff. Thank you [/QUOTE]
