Chapter 3 Using Your iMac 57
Connecting External Displays, Televisions, and Video Devices
Your iMac has a mini-DVI video out (£) port that you can use with an adapter to
connect an external DVI display, an external VGA display or projector, or a TV, video
projector, or VCR. Refer to the following chart to find the right adapter for your needs.
When an external monitor or TV is connected, you can either have the same image
appear on both the iMac display and the external display (known as video mirroring) or
use the external display to extend the size of the Mac OS X desktop (known as
extended desktop mode).
Connecting an External Display, Projector, TV, or VCR
Use the appropriate adapter to connect an external DVI or VGA display or a projector to
your iMac. Your iMac automatically detects the external display.
