[QUOTE="ghogoh, post: 1540506, member: 311877"] Thank you bobtomay for a quick response. Did the unplug/plug - no change, unfortunately. The monitor has only a VGA connector - legacy from previous use, as it was the simplest 'no thrills' solution to 'extending' pc display. It has always worked in that job flawlessly. Amended part of post: Previously, wrote here that I was unsure how to check the adapter. It's now been checked - imac connected via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to the D-Sub connector of a Samsung smart TV. Connection worked perfectly. For completeness here is also the link to the adapter details from the source of purchase: [url]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thunderbolt-Mini-Displayport-to-VGA-Cable-Adapter-For-Apple-MacBook-Pro-Air-iMAC-/300959900190?ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160[/url] It now looks like there is an issue between the imac and the monitor, as all components work in alternative connections, but not together. cheers ghogoh [/QUOTE]
