Hello,
I have a DELL monitor with a male DVI cable. I want to convert to VGA so I can use it as a second monitor. I currently have an Apple female VGA to Thunderbolt adapter. What do I need to convert this DVI male to a VGA female? Or...., do they make a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter?
Thanks Much,
Rick
The Thunderbolt Port on your iMac uses Mini DisplayPort adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA monitors.
For DVI monitor's that are 24" or smaller with a resolution of 1920x1200 or less, you need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

For DVI monitor's that are 27" or larger with higher resolutions, you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter.
