2nd monitor

I have late 2015 iMac with 27" 5K monitor and Thunderbolt 2 ports. Is it posible to add a 2nd 27" monitor? If so how?


Thanks for any help.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

yes.


you could buy a monitor with HDMI input. then you would need a Mini DisplayPort Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter and an HDMI cable to connect the two.


or if you would like some flexibility to accommodate different monitors with different types of inputs you could get a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI VGA DVI, (Thunderbolt) adapter with the appropriate cables.
