| Message-ID | <131220132215457609%star@sky.net> |
It has been a while since I bought an external monitor and I'm not familiar with the "Display Port" connector. What do I need in order to connect such a monitor to a Mac Thunderbolt port? TIA! -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm

Use a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (e.g. http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024606) and plug it directly into your Thunderbolt port. DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort are the same signal, just with a different plug. Fortunately, Thunderbolt uses the DisplayPort protocol for video and is backwards compatible with "legacy" DisplayPort devices, so you won't need a bulky adapter. If you are daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices, see Apple's documentation for additional guidance (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#23) Clarus
