24" iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.4, 2.93Mhz Core2Duo, Nvidia 120GT 256MB, 4GB 1067GHz DDR3 RAM, 640GB HDD
So I have my 24" iMac (Early 2009 Model) and a Gaming PC.

It is possible to using my 24" iMac as a monitor for my Gaming PC?

I know you can play gaming consoles by using this device, but I forgot what it is, but is it also possible for Gaming PC's?


Thanks!

No. Your 24" iMac does not have an input for video. Only the newer 27" model has that capability. There is a convoluted way to use the screen on your iMac in conjunction with another computer (with software) but the results are not worth the effort. If you wish to try it, download "Screenrecycler" from here.

Regards.
