Congrats! Are you going to add another monitor or hook it up to a TV?

Wait... what? You can add another monitor to the iMac? And have dual monitor?

Yes, you just need a mini display port adapter.

Hmmm..... I didn't know that.
Someone was selling their 24" Apple Display with the mini Display Port coming out of it, for cheap... I have to see if he still has it, so then I can have a 27" and a 24" side-by-side. Sweet.

That is correct. Apple sells a mini display port to DVI and mini display port to VGA cable. You can also go third party and do mini display port to HDMI for your HDTV needs. Hmm... this is starting to give me ideas...

I'm doing this at work. 27" iMac with a 24" Samsung next to it. Very nice to work with.

Since y'all asked :)



I use the full size keyboard versus the bluetooth wireless one - I like having full size arrow keys and page navigation keys (home/end/page up/page down/delete). I don't use the numeric keypad a whole lot, but I use the page keys extensively. It's worth having the wire, but I really wish Apple would make a wireless version of this keyboard. The other wire is to plug in my iPhone/iPad.

All you're missing Brian is the Intuos 4 tablet! :-)

I have a 28" HannsG monitor with my 27" iMac. Only crappy thing is it is 1200p rather than the 1440p, but still nice. Especially when my wife is laying out an album, she will have the album spread on the iMac and the pics she wants to use for the spread open on the 28" external screen. Or Farmville.
