[QUOTE="BobHas, post: 1937903, member: 387208"] H, Looking ahead I am replacing my 2011 iMac with a newer, similar one (2017ish). On the current machine I have two older external monitors connected, I believe via adapters into the Thunderbolt ports. (it is currently difficult to even access the back of the current machine to look at what is there - its been 5 or 10 years since I had a good look). The new machine is a very similar iMac but several years newer and I think it will have Thunderbolt 3 ports. The whole Thunderbolt world is rather confusing. I think I understand the plug that goes into TB3 is different from what I have on the old machine. I need to prepare to be able to shift the old monitors over and need to figure out the most affordable solution and get it in hand. [/QUOTE]
