I'm trying to connect my new 27" iMac to my Dell 2408WFP as an external monitor. This setup worked perfectly, no problems at all, with my 2009 MBP. For this, I read I needed a mini-DP to DP cable. I bought one and connected. It connects, but the Dell looks like garbage no matter what kind of fiddling I do. I researched further and found this is a common issue.
So, my next question is, has anyone gotten this setup to work with the new imacs? Is it even possible to get it looking right? Which cable should I try next? I've read some threads that suggest mini-DP to DVI is the way to go, but I haven't read anything about this specific new imac, and I don't want to just keep ordering cables, just to not have them work. Can anyone help? I just want to get up and running already.
