I bought a mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable, logged into my MacBook and iMac, then connected them with the mDP cable.

Hi Schusz, I can't check this but I think it might be selectable in the Displays Pref Pane.
Thanks Timothy, is it adjustable in the Displays Pref Pane?
Thanks. I now have ordered a Thunderbolt 2 cable.
Thanks Malcom, I didn't realise that. I'll get an mDP-to-mDP cable instead.
