This is a demo video of how to use The Apple 27 inch iMac as a display for a MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and Mac Mini. In the coming weeks the adapter will be available to use it as a display with any HDMI and DVI compatible device.

Does it matter which Imac (the first or second selction) or does this work with both 27inch imacs?

Can you use 2 displays for your Macbook Pro?
I Gonna buy twice 24″, or if Apple will release the 27″ display soon!!

no cables.. you need a converter.. to covert hdmi signal to mini display signal.. it cost around $300
JammatheGreat
What cables are needed to allow PS3 be played on the iMac?
Beast of a machine!

2000 for a 30″ or 1599 for a 27″ + Computer. I Choose the 27″

@swroll yes

Can you close your MBP and still use the imac display.
Using, of course, a bluetooth mouse and keyboard?

@youngobi2009 Not a waste of money… You can play PS3 or XBOX on your iMac…

@supafreek1234 cheaper than the 30″ Cinema Display and you get a free computer.

@icdp It makes more sense when it come time to upgrade to a new machine. Once the iMac’s outdated, you can continue to use it as a primary or auxiliary display with whatever new computer you get. Makes me wish I got a 27″ model instead of the 21.5″, although I like to use my systems as long as I can.

No, not with any 20” or 24” iMac…

@icdp
Because the screen is twice as big. which screen would you prefer to watch a dvd on?
I have a mac pro and I would love to use that computer as a display. Have you noticed how the 30″ display is $100 more than the 27″ iMac. So in other words for $100 less you get a whole computer and 3″ less of display. Personally the iMac display is better too.
