riotshield Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I am thinking of getting an iMac and was wondering is in the future in case I want to upgrade, if I'll be able to keep the iMac just for its screen and use it with a MacPro for example? If this by any means possible? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147661-is-it-possible-to-use-imac-screen-on-its-own/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinasky Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 You won´t be able cause its not possible to send a video signal to mini-dvi ports. In that case it would be better to get a cheap screen and connect it to the macpro and still using the imac.

riotshield Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 what about that screen recycle thing? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/147661-is-it-possible-to-use-imac-screen-on-its-own/#findComment-1046088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Wait a little while for new iMacs to be released. They're nearing the end of their cycle. Or new Mac pros The new LED 24" doesn't work with a Mac Pro yet! Screen Recycle works rather slowly, as it has to work over a network. There is also a program called Synergy that lets you use one mouse over two computers - even better!
