I have a 24" pc monitor here and I would like to know if I can use it as a second monitor with my iMac 27?
I have these connections on my 24" monitor: HDMI, Displayport, VGA,DVI,Composite.


thanks

HDMI, Displayport or DVI should work. You just need the little adapters.

From Apple's website:
"And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high-resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter."
