Can I connect a LED cinema display to an iMac late 2013?
The mini displayPort port on the Mac working as video output port when connected to a display with a mini displayPort input. This monitor has the same maximum resolution as the internal display of the Mac. This means Mac supports the maximum resolution of Monitor.
When connecting monitor to your Mac, thunderbolt will not be used. The Mac has the ability to determine if the mini displayPort is being used for video or being used for thunderbolt data transfers.
I connect a 13” touchbar macbook pro with usb-c ports to my 27” apple display with apple adaptors and also my 15” macbook pro to the same display with suitable apple adaptors.
Works fine.
