New iMac doesn't play nice with Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter

Apple hasn't exactly been making any promises to the contrary, but it looks like anyone hoping to use the company's Mini Display Port to DVI adapter to hook a game console or other device up to a brand new 27-inch iMac is flat out of luck -- for now, at least. That's because the system's exciting (but pricey) ability to be used as a standalone monitor only applies to devices equipped with their own Mini Display Port at the moment, which does limit your options quite a bit. Of course, it's almost certainly only a matter of time before Apple or a third-party manufacturer comes out with an adapter that does work, but we haven't heard anything firm on that front as of yet.Filed under: DesktopsNew iMac doesn't play nice with Apple's Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:59:00 EST.
