I'd like to hook my 2009 iMac up to my gaming PC as a second monitor.

The video card on my gaming PC has 1 display port. Will a mini display port to the display port cable work?

Or must the connection on the PC be mini display port as well.

Hey mate,

Been running that setup for years. Gaming PC to iMac.

Just get yourself a display port to mini display port cable and your gold.

If your not sure which one to get, just message me, I should still have the one I purchased saved in my eBay or Amazon accounts.

Out of interest, what OSX are you running? I have the same setup but on Mavericks it flicks to a black screen when using the miniDP cable.
