[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1012855, member: 24160"] It can't be done without buying more stuff. The mini displayport to DVI adapter is just that. It is a one way adapter. It is not a DVI to mini displayport adapter. At least 2 companies are working on HDMI to mini displayport adapters/cables - Apogee and Kanex. Have not searched for them recently, so I don't know if they're out yet or not. The input port on the iMac was designed by Apple for use as a 2nd screen for the MacBook or MacBook Pro and their mini displayport. It has been up to 3rd party developers for everything else thus far. [/QUOTE]
