Looking for second display for mid 2010 iMac

[gelie]

I have a 21's mid 2010 iMac and looking to add a second display. I would like it to ascetically match the iMac as possible while being able to view horizontal as well as vertically. Thx

Actually this one caught my eye. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=320-9799. Any thoughts? Also would i need a mini display port to display port cable?

It seems that you might indeed need to buy yourself a cable, or at the very least an adapter. The monitor I purchased from Dell including a VGA, DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort cable. But yours doesn't list the MDP -> DP. I might suggest if you do go with that monitor that you purchase a cable just in case and then just return it if one comes in the box.

I thought this one includes:
A comprehensive range of analog and digital connectivity ports and cables are included:

• VGA
• DisplayPort
• DVI-D (excluding DVI-D cables)
• USB

True but nowhere does that say mini display port to display port so if you mac is mini display port you will need a cable.

Looking at a product information sheet from Newegg, it does seem that it doesn't include the mini displayport -> displayport cable. So go ahead and get yourself one of those as well. As I suggested before, it can always be returned if Dell surprises you and had one packed in.
