[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1650787, member: 46727"] Maybe I'm missing something here, but according to specs your 2008 20" iMac has a Mini DVI output port. Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with the MiniDisplayPort. You state your iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt input which I assume you mean "Thunderbolt Port". I gather you're using a Dual Link DVI adapter to MiniDisplayPort to your Cinema Display and not able to get the full native resolution the Cinema Display is capable of? I don't know off hand if an adapter is available that you would need, or if your 2008 iMac is even capable of driving the Cinema Display at 2560 x 1600. Our Moderator "bobtomay" is someone who possibly can answer your question, so hang on until he has a chance to see your post. [/QUOTE]
