You need to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in one of the 2013 iMac’s Thunderbolt ports.

2nd Display Support:Dual/Mirroring*2nd Max. Resolution:2560x1600 (x2)

Details:*This model can simultaneously support two external displays up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt.


This model is equipped with two Thunderbolt ports. Thunderbolt is backwards-compatible with Mini DisplayPort-equipped displays as well as adapters that are compatible with Mini DisplayPort (DVI, VGA, dual-link DVI and HDMI). It also can support other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard, which provides a maximum theoretical 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.
