Will the Belkin Av360 work with the new 2011 line of iMacs?

iMac, HDMI to mini-display port

The reason I asked the question was that I would like the new iMac to serve dual- duty as a tv/computer in my bedroom. I vaguely remember reading some post on the net that said that this new line of iMacs lost that functionality with the coming of thunderbolt. I went to two different apple stores in NY and at both I was told that it would work. But I'm still not convinced. I'm hoping someone who actually has this type of setup (or even just a ps3 hooked up to it) will confirm for me. Thanks for the input, it is much appreciated.

I just got the Belkin AV360, plugged it in and have been troubleshooting for over an hour. After reading all the complicated forums and posts, I'm pretty sure it does not work. It did not say that on amazon (the Kanex XD clearly stated late 2009 to mid 2010) and I just assumed (which is clearly the last time I will with Apple) that the thunderbolt was a MDP just like on my last imac. I'm beginning to get frustrated, and if you read the forums I'm not the only one, with the constraints apple puts on their products, the constant changing of standards and ports (had to buy new two new firewire cables for my video camera and digital devices last time), and the confusion that it brings (read forums about goign into stores or talking to customer care and getting multiple wrong answers). I should have done more research but why couldn't they just make things easier for customers that love the apple brand but want to do more with it. PS3 on my imac would be sweet (huge monitor!) I'd buy something from apple itself.


So we'll have to wait for a HDMI-Thunderbolt third party adapter that will probably be $150 and only work for the 2011 thunderbolt computer unitl they switch to something else.


Anyone that seems to forget that Apple is a business?
