Can I connect a TV Box to my iMac without HDMI? Hello guys! I am considering replacing my Mac Mini and my TV to buy an iMac. The only question I have: can I connect a TV Box to an 21" or 24" iMac (no TV Tuner). I am not really sure if there are any HDMI Ports on the iMac. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Macbook Pro M1 Pro or Max Thunderbolt output resolution support I have a question about MacBook Pro M1 Pro or Max. Can this device output via Thunderbolt 4K 120 Hz refresh rate with the right Thunderbolt cable to external monitor or TV which can support 120 Hz signal? This option is very important to me. This machine already is very powerful what i do so i do not need to buy M2 Pro or M3 Pro or Max just because power but what i need is connection resolution. I know that M1 Pro or Max has HDMI 2.0 which only support 4K 60Hz to external monitor and only M2 Pro or M3 pro and above has HDMI 2.1 which can support 4K 120Hz refresh rate to external monitor. So my point is if Macbook Pro M1 Pro or Max can support 4K 120Hz via Thunderbolt i can buy this machine instead of paying a lot of money and buy M2 Pro or M3 Pro just for HDMI 2.1 connection

MAC to TV using USB-B/HDMI cable. Will it Work? Can a USB-B (NOT USB-C) to HDMI cable work to display from my MAC onto my Television? I tried, and it doesn't seem to work. I have a Thunderbolt port on my Mac. Do I have to use that?

Try it an find out. It usually depends on the model. As a reference for troubleshooting connectivity, see my User Tip for older Macs, when it comes using adapters to get a configuration such as this to work: Configuring a USB-C Only Mac with a 30-Inch Apple Cinema Display - User Tip
