[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1647260, member: 282115"] Hey guys. I need to use an old iMac as an external display for my late 2014 MacBook Pro. I am guessing I will use the thunderbolt on my laptop to connect to the iMac which I believe has a Mini-DVI Video out. I can't be absolutely sure this is the name of the display port on the iMac though as I have been unable to find the exact model online (don't have the model number to hand). I have attached a pic below. Cold someone confirm this is the Mini-DVI video out. As it says it is a 'video out', will it be able to be used as a video 'in' port as mentioned in this apple article?; [url]http://goo.gl/Jz06Im[/url] If not, is there any other way of using this iMac as an external monitor for my laptop? many thanks [ATTACH=full]22002[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
