Could someone explain to me why there is an ethernet port on this monitor? And how it would be used when connected to mac computers. Thank you.

The monitor is a Thunderbolt docking stations offering convenience ports and easy connectivity for the notebook.

This monitor and the iMac have some common parts. Its believe the ethernet port is there because it was cheaper to manufacture one part instead of two.

When the monitor is connected to a computer via the Thunderbolt port the monitor can, in turn, provide an Internet connection to the laptop you're connecting it to. So it's an "OUT", not an "IN" (not technically, I know). It is not to connect the monitor to the Internet.

because using the lightning cable to connect to monitor allows the ethernet to be plugged into the monitor, less things to plug into laptop. Also, the macbook pro retna does not have an ethernet port on it.

Hello from Ecomade Arena,That is good question.Due to OS X restriction, Macbook with HDMI max resolution rate is 1920*1080 only.However, windows with HDMI max resolution rate is 2560*1440 (HDMI 1.4 supported graphic card only)so, Macbook user should be connect monitor via DP (Thunderbolt) port only.ASIN : B00HLCNNUO is 27QW DP model. It has DP port.Thank you

Your computer needs to be designed to run two monitors. My PC had a video card that stipulated that feature. Check out your MAC Book's features. My system has two HDMI plugs.

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.

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.

No it is not a thunderbolt display. You are simply using the displayport2 protocol to send display info to the monitor. You will need to use another wire to send USB, and in my experience so far that does not work. It's a great display once you tell OSX how to display colors, out of the box it's going to look fuzzy and distorted - don't worry, it's just a command prompt configuration setting to fix.

I also have macbook pro running the latest OS X it works, the network works, the usb ports work I also believe when I first got it the monitor port worked. It is a little quirky, like when you plug in drives into the port they run even when the MBP is not connected. and you will not get full resolution on the monitor like you have on the MBP.

I don't know if this answers the question but it basically its a HDMI to thunderbolt cable. You plug the thunderbolt to your mac and the HDMI should be connected to your television.

First off - I would recommend getting a better Asus monitor like the 246 or 248 - the one with LED. I sold this one already. Answer to your question is yes. You can connect macbooks to any monitory but you need the display port converter (for hdmi/dvi). As for mac tower, if they take display port, it should not be a problem. Check at the apple store.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but thanks for posting it. I'm looking for a great monitor for my Mac, and this is good to know. Best of luck to you!

There are no ports on it. It's just a stand to hold your Mac upright. You have to use mini display port that plugs into your Mac-- make sure the female end is the right port for your monitor. Then I used wireless keyboard plugged directly into the mac.

You probably need a HDMI to mini-display port, I bought this one for my MacBook when I purchased this monitor as it doesn't come w/ one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CAGDUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This monitor is best for desktop computers, but for the price, this is a great monitor to have even for a macbook. Just remember that it is an HDTV monitor hybrid, which means it comes with a remote, and has built in stereo speakers. It will function exactly like a TV (and you can hook up cable to it as well!).

I think you need the cheaper Mac display port cable. The TBolt is pretty much for data I believe.

&lt;http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20043524-263.html&gt; Go read this good article. Turns out Apple caused some confusion (but in a good way as far as functionality) by making the newer Thunderbolt port the exact same physical connection type as the older Mini Display port. But here is the good news, for newer Macs for which this port is advertised as Thunderbolt, the port is "backwards compatible" as a Mini Display port. It is also useable as strictly a Thunderbolt port. So yes, this cable will work for hooking up your Mac Mini 2012 to a HDMI TV via the Thunderbolt port. Thank God Apple did this. Especially since the 2012 Mac Mini uses the Intel 4000 GPU which has a flaw that manifests itself in the Mini's HDMI output. This cable provides a nice workaround until Intel/Apple issue new drivers to fix this problem (which has been publicly acknowledged by Intel/Apple). Enjoy!!!
