iMac (Flat Panel)
The iMac (Flat Panel) computer has a "mini-VGA" monitor port located on the back of the computer. This port allows you to use the iMac's video mirroring feature with a compatible VGA monitor. An Apple VGA Display Adapter, part M8639G/A (available separately), is required to plug in the monitor cable.
Important: The Apple VGA Display Adapter (M8639G/A) should not be confused with the Apple Video Adapter (M8734G/A). The Apple Video Adapter (M8734G/A) is not compatible with the iMac computer's mini-VGA monitor port.
You can use any VGA monitor that is compatible with these resolutions and frequencies:
| Resolution in pixels | Refresh Rate |
| 640 by 480 | 60 Hz |
| 800 by 600 | 75 Hz |
| 1024 by 768 | 75 Hz |
