I have a 27" cinema display with a mini displayport cable that i am trying to connect as a 2nd monitor to my 2007 21.5" iMac. The iMac seems to have an older mini divi output (far right). Any thoughts? I can't find an adaptor. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks
2007 iMac ports
iMac, OS X 10.11

You need a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

and a DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter.

Thank but that's a little more than I wanted to spend. Do you know of any cheaper options? Thanks again
