I set up my new iMac yesterday and went to use it with my TV set today and noticed it had no mini display port. The 2010 iMac does so we are using that.
How can I connect the new 2017 iMac to my TV? Thank you.

The new iMac has Mojave on it and has 8 Gigs of ram.
Do we need all of those? Is there an adaptor that will give us a mini display port?
No, only one USB-C to Mini Display port adapter. Amazon has a number of them.
Our TV has a HDMI port and the other side of it hooks into the mini display port of our 2010 iMac so I'll go with the first option, thanks!
You're welcome. I was having lunch. 😎 You're in good hands with Phil.
An interesting question; I've enjoyed reading the responses and will try to remember them!
What do you think of the quality of the TV programmes when you watch them on the screen of your new iMac?
Yes, that looks like it will work to go from USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 / Mini Display Port.

Why not? Have you tried one?
To further explain, you plug the USB-C plug into your iMac, and your HDMI cable into the adapter.
Thank you! Now I now what I need. That apple one has very poor reviews.
Have a great day, dialabrain. 🙂
You're welcome. FWIW, reviews for any product are generally meaningless. Mine has worked just fine for the time I've used it which is nearly three years now. 😎
That's good to know....
You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
