I used my new iMac 27" like a monitor for Pc !

Thank's to this cable:

I linked the Display Port of my Sapphire 4890 Vapor X

to the in/out mini display port on Mac

The result is awesome,the resolution is 2560x1440, the black is very dark and the desktop huge

I'm very satisfied that all works so i can use this fantastic monitor with my Pc too.

To switch from a desktop to another you have to use (Command+F2) on the Mac keyboard.

The only little defect is that the Mac has to be completely On , so the power comsuption is higher compare to a normal monitor

I hope this experience can be useful to someone
