Doren: Adding screens on a new iMac An external VGA monitor can indeed be added to a new iMac (just as it can be on one of the older iMacs). However, it will be in "video mirroring" mode, ie it will show the same thing as the built-in monitor. It will not provide any different screen resolution, either. So all you will get is bigger pixels, rather than more pixels. This can still be nice, as is the case for 1024 x 768 on my CRT iMac, which I find to be eye-straining on its 13.8" viewable monitor. I have therefore attached a 17" CRT to my iMac and upped the resolution to good effect. But it ain't the same as being able to bump the resolution up further from there, which is not possible on an iMac, new or old. If you want to attach an external monitor and have it be independent of what appears on the built-in monitor, or if you want more pixels than 1024 x 768, then you'll need a Power Mac or PowerBook.
