[QUOTE="SchwartzGeek, post: 1294124, member: 214399"] [b]Also interested[/b] I'm attempting to do exactly this for my mother who wants to use her new MacBook Air with the 24" iMac serving only as a monitor. FYI for anyone else interested in doing this: I've found the necessary adapters: [LIST] [*]Kanex C247m mini-DVI to mini-DisplayPort adapter (that uses built-in USB for power) ($75 from Amazon, or $130 from Apple) [*]a standard male mini-DP to male mini-DP cable (~$7) [/LIST] I just need to verify that the iMac monitor supports target display mode. Any verified response is greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
