Can i connect ps4 to my iMac so it displays on the iMac. If I can how do I do it and what do i need to do it.
iMac
I'm not aware of an "11.1" model of iMac. If you have a 27" Late 2009 or Mid-2010 iMac, which according to MacTracker would be the 10.1 and 11.3 models, respectively, then yes, you can use Target Display Mode:

and this converter:

I found the model 11.1 here; http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i7-2.8-27-inch-alumin um-late-2009-specs.html
So it's indeed a late 2009 27".
Thank you very much for your answer!
No, I am referring to the model of iMac. It doesn't matter what version of Mac OS X it is running. And no, there is no way to get an a 2008 iMac to support Target Display Mode. That's a hardware limitation, not software. Only the Late 2009 and later iMacs have that feature.

OK, got it. Too bad!
Regarding a new iMac, seeing as they have Thunderbolt, I'm wondering if something like Blackmagic's Intensity Shuttle would work for Target Disply Mode:

Bit of an extreme piece of hardware, but might do the job?
Well, I'm not looking for gaming but simply to watch TV in our kitchen using the satellite receiver as source. We have an iMac on the desk and there is no room for a separate TV so I'm trying to get the iMac to do double duty. I'm wondering if the Blackmagic would work for that? Of course, means a new iMac too, so not a cheap solution!!
I think the lag would make the video and audio drop out of sync for TV shows as well, so I don't think that a solution. If you can get a Blackmagic box with return privileges, though, you can try it and see. You'll need to feed it though video capture software such as iMovie which will make the screen display perhaps less than ideal.

You can play PS4 or Xbox one using Avermedia's ExtremeCap U3. I do this with my 2013 iMac with no noticeable latency and feels the same as playing on my HD TV.
See link to a video below
I have an imac 10.5.8 (yeah pretty old) and would like to use it as a monitor for my ps4. is this possible ? and what do i need to do if yes? i am not a technological person so i need some help haha thankss
I have iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) computer and would also like to connect the PS$ to it. I have read where others are using the PS4 on their iMac. There was one site showing a video connection through a "box" between the PS4 and iMac but there were no details on where/what the "box" connector was...
Any one have any up-date on this?
Hi.
From the Playstation Store you can download and install "PS4 Remote Play".

If you have the standard PS4 it can now display on your iMac Retina Screen but it will display your PS4 screen at 720p. I found it not really good enough to prefer it over my LG Computer monitor no matter how good my iMac's Retina screen is. However, if you have one of the swanky new PS4's it will run at 1080p. The above link will explain.
Oh, and yes, it works perfectly on my iMac, subject to the 750p limit of course (but that might change in a future update)
We'll need to know your specific model of iMac before anyone can answer your question.
Regards.
I have the iMac 9,1
Then no, sorry, you can't, at least not without using a video input/capture device which I don't think will give you the results you want due to the lag involved.
Regards.
What about the iMac11,1, will I have more luck with that one?
Does the same hold true with a mid 2013 model? What kind of converter would I need?
Can i make PS4 to display on my iMac?
