    Hellow fellow COWs,

    Basically I’ve decided to buy an iMac 24inch but was wondering if there was a possibilty of using another monitor or two? I thought mini dvi to vga for a monitor, but is there a possibility of also adding a video out as well? The reason for this is so that with final cut pro i can see the timeline in video; but also ive been reading around and ‘color’ users reccomend using dual monitors hence 2 monitors for program and 1 for viewing the actual image…

    thanks.

    You can drive a second computer monitor via the iMac.

    You can drive an external TV monitor through something like the MXO and the AJA IoHD and AJA Io though you will need to check the specs on those very carefully to ensure they will work with your iMac.
