iMac mid 2010 I need to hook up another monitor but I only have the firewall 800 port can this be done? Thank you
There is a Mini DisplayPort for connecting a monitor.
There is a Mini DisplayPort for connecting a monitor.
iMac 21.5” mid 2010 and iMac 27” mid 2010 support one Mini DisplayPort output port. Use that?
Past the mDP, no good options here if you need a second port.
I’m not aware of FireWire graphics display support.
Nor any monitors that accept FireWire input source.
DV was possible, but approximately nobody uses that path now.
FireWire is ~800 Gbps, which is too low for what are now common resolutions and refresh rates.

There are USB 2.0 adapters that might work (which is even lower than FW800),
if you’re already using the mDP and need a second:
