![]() ![]() I find it hard to believe that I am the first person who wants a second screen for their 27" iMac (and want the display to more or less match the internal one). I don't have a dead or otherwise unused 27" iMac sitting around and available for use as a screen so that's not exactly practical. It seems some folks are using a (scrapped?) 27" iMac as a second display on their 27" iMac. The built-in iMac 27" screen appears to be the only 5K, 6016x3384 display. No separately-sold monitors claiming to be "5K" (oodles of 4K screens, some 8K), none boasting native resolutions of 6016x3384. Please correct me if I have jumped to an incorrect conclusion.Īpple markets the iMac display as a "5K" display, with a resolution of 6016x3384.Īs best I can tell, there are no other 27" monitors that exist in the world that have a native display of 6016x3384. And I'm concluding that.Apple has made this all but impossible. I assume there's no additional display adapter or other potential complications needed (just power and theThunderbolt/USB C cable) - correct?īottom line: I'm looking to have both displays (the internal and an external) match, to the extent that's possible.Ĭan anyone suggest good options for a second monitor that would work well with this 27" iMac in a side-by-side configuration? Thanks. ![]() If I'm reading the specs correctly, to connect a second monitor, all I would need would be 1) to use one of the included Thunderbolt 3 DV ports (it has two), and the second display itself - the included video card (any of them, actually) should support the internal display plus a second at up to 6K with 1 bazillion colors. I can live with bezels, but other than that would like the two displays to appear as "seamless" as possible for use as an extended desktop. My goal would be a second display that matches the resolution, color and (as close as possible) the size of the built-in display. I'm considering the new (2020) 27" iMac with Retina 5K display and have some questions about hooking up a second display. ![]()
