Yes, it does. I am not positive about a 2011 mac, but I assume it will still work. It works for my 2013 macbook air.

It looks to me like you can. Checking your iMac, it seems to have a mini display port; last port closest to the center on the back. The monitor seems to have a DVI-D connector. If you can confirm you indeed to have those connectors it should work. I use it with a late 2011 Macbook Pro driving a 30" apple cinema display and it works with those connectors. My cinema display is the same resolution, 2560 x 1440. This adapter also requires an additional usb connection that is only for power. I suggest you plug it into a wall charger or powered usb hub instead of into the iMac. If the plug it into the iMac and it goes to sleep, the adapter loses power and you can have display issue when it wakes up. An external power source eliminates that issue.

Yes, I am using one at work that is connected to 2 of 24" monitors at 1920 x 1200. I think I have one connected via DisplayPort and the other via HDMI. At work I am using a Dell PC M4700. I had some trouble with compatibility between Nvidia and DisplayLink driver (in addition to the 24" monitors I have a 30" connected to the laptop's DisplayPort output). I ended up going back a few revisions of the Nvidia driver to get things to work reliably. At home I have a Mac with also with 3 external monitors, except with the Mac I am driving them all with USB connections. I have a 30-inch connected to the HP 3005pr and two 1280 x 1024 smaller displays each connected via its own older USB to video Displaylink box.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

That is a correct question. I'm a seller, ecomadearena. I'm living in Korea South and I'm a authorized dealer of this brand monitor. Basically, this kind of bypass monitor has only one DVI-Dual link input. Resolution rate is 2560x1440(1600). Macbook users should have to use Mini Display port to Dual-link DVI (DVI-D) adapter. In apple store, above adapter price is USD 99.00 Some buyers choose monoprice's mini DP to DVI-D adapter. that is more cheaper price than original apple adapter. Additionally, I'm a business seller live in Korea South. I'm a actually official dealer of this kind of monitor. In my personal opinion, there is multi input monitor, DP port, DVI, HDMI, RGB Qnix and X-star is twins brand. X-star DP2710 MDP model has DP port from the birth. So, it is important to choose proper monitor for your purpose. -------- Samsung PLS wide panel monitor ---------- Qnix QX2710 Glossy or Matte panel : Wide purpose, Gaming monitor - overclockable. X-Star DP2710 Glossy or Matte panel : Twins model with Qnix QX2710 - overclockable. X-Star DP2710 MDP : Multi input monitor with DP port (ASIN: B00ED8KCD0) In short, I suggest bypass monitor to desktop users and gamer who want overclockable monitor Laptop and Macbook users are suggested X-Star DP2710 MDP model or something like this model. Good luck!

It looks like the Thunderbolt displays require an Apple VESA adapter plate available here:http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD179ZM/A/vesa-mount-adapter-kit-for-imac-andled-cinemaor-applethunderbolt-display

Monitor comes with a DisplayPort cable. I set to 2560x1440, you'll need to have a video card capable of that resolution and having a displayport output. We found the type too small and are happily running using HDMI resolution.

Hopefully someone else with more knowledge of Macs and their Thunderbolt connection can answer. I'm not sure since I use this monitor with a Windows 7 Home Premium box with the supplied cable.

I use an "Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" for my monitor at work that runs 1920x1080 resolution. However, the standard DisplayPort adapters max out at 1920x1200, so at home, I use the "Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension" to connect to my 30" Apple Cinema Display that runs 2560x1600. You obviously don't have to use Apple.. I'm sure any Mini Display Port adapter will work. I just find Apple adapters to be high quality and readily available.

I am using it on a MAC running 10.8.4. I think I loaded latest DisplayLink drivers around the end of July looks like latest was in March. So yes works well with latest. I am running a 30" monitor on Displayport 2560 X1600.

No, there aren't any compatibility problems with Mac interface with BenQ monitors. I use the XL2720T with my Macbook Air via D-sub and was able to mirror the display with no problem. I also used the same connection to extend the display with no problem either.

This is an older monitor. I believe it uses an industry-standard DVI connector. There is a $29 mini displayport to DVI adapter available from Apple -- but you should confirm compatibility with Apple for your specific laptop. Apple also offers a 27" Thunderbolt-connected monitor.

If you have a USB and Thunderbolt connection on your Mac then you need to get an adapter that converts the DVI/VGA to Thunderbolt and you're good to go

I use one of these: ASIN: B00C7RJQPY "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in Black 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready" with mine. It works great. Very happy with my monitor purchase. No regret at all.I have a MacBook Pro mid2010.

Hi I'm sorry If it's not Displayport 1.2 , it's not compatible with this 2560x1440 resolution. Thank you.

As with any periprial, this will use a VGA cable. It is compatible to the MAC, should be visible upon connection and power up. YOu can change the resolution to 1024 x 768, as this is the native resolution on this device.
