Connecting a Digital Projector to an iMac
Hardware, How To, iMac, Projectors / 0 Comments
I just bought a new 27″ iMac and I want to hook it up to my digital projector that has a DB-15 VGA port. What adapter is needed to connect the iMac to my projector?
Thanks,
Ernie
The 27″ iMac can use the Apple Mini-Displayport to VGA video adapter for use with VGA compatible projectors. You will also need a VGA display cable (see image below). Now, VGA may not always pass through plug-and-play information from the projector, so you might have to go through some configuration manually.
To do that, go to System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.
I hope this has been helpful for you.
