dear all:
i have bought a new iMac recently, but the evolution is very bad using hmdi to connect 4k monitor or other monitor. hope all of u can help me. Thx in deeply.
iMac, Late 2013
The computer has at least one Thunderbolt port that can be used for another monitor. An adapter may be required for the other monitor.
thx kappy...I am stupid in computer stuff. Should I buy a new line to connect the thunderbolt (iMac) to external monitor? I would like to use other brand of LCD monitor with bigger size for external monitor because of my limited budget. Should the external monitor contain the function of thunderbolt? No one can help me to solve this problem even though Apple repaired service.
You don't need a monitor that supports Thunderbolt although that would be more convenient should you find one. But most monitors support pretty standard port such as DVI. So you would need an adapter from Thunderbolt to, say, DVI. Check the online Apple Store for adapters once you buy the monitor and know what you will need.
HI kappy, thx for your help. Frankly, I used a old iMac to connect the my old lcd monitor. It was no problem. However, I buy a new one iMac 27 inches late 2013 which cannot support my old lcd monitor even though 4k monitor. The evolution is very very poor. I used thunderbolt to change HDmi line to connect my lcd monitor but it still failed. afterward, I return it to Apple retail store for repairing. i check it again but it still fail. now, I dont know how I can do.
the resolution is very poor. The font is unclear after connect external monitor..
I really can't help with this. Usually this is related to the resolution of the monitor if it isn't the same as the internal monitor, but that's mostly a guess on my part. You old LCD monitor can't be too old if it's a 4K monitor since those are relatively new.
Thx kappy...that means...I need to buy a new....lcd monitor.....oh... My god...
Only if you need to use it in 4K. But should work fine in its native resolution.
That means I have no another choice except 4k monitor? It is very expensive in 42 inches 4 k monitor when compare with others. money disaster....oh..no...
THx kappy
Your iMac does not have a 4K monitor nor does it support 4K.
| External Resolution | Up to 2560 by 1600 pixels |
|---|
So, you need a monitor that supports that maximum resolution should you want to use the same resolution as the iMac does.
TThe kappy.. I will try it tomorrow. Thx for ur help in deeply.
Can iMac 27 inch late 2013 support external monitor? If yes, how can I do?
