[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1314178, member: 24160"] You are reading a late '09 thread. The late '09 27" iMac did indeed accept input from displayport devices, as did the mid '10 27" models via their mini displayport input. From my understanding, in order to use the TB port for input, it must be connected to another TB port. Here is a current thread related to the new TB iMac at the appleforums - [URL="https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062624?start=0&tstart=0"]link[/URL] and [URL="http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/what_can_i_do_on_a_mac?tqid=QDCUD7XUKA9HJX4CPYP4292D9YPKUACUPUXJ4YPD9KPTFU2KF7FY9KHYAF7HPHDTH"]another[/URL] and [URL="http://www.macstories.net/news/new-imac-notes-dual-external-display-output-os-x-on-ssd-no-video-input/"]another[/URL]. There is no mention of being able to use the TB model iMac on Apple's site as an external display for any other devices. I have also not seen any 3rd party adapters that will allow any other connection besides TB to TB as an input on the iMac at this time. [/QUOTE]
