3.0 out of 5 starsOne step closer...
By Busy Executive TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on June 23, 2010
Verified Purchase
One of the chief reasons I purchased a 27" iMac was the hope of using it as a monitor for several other PCs. Like many people, I regularly use several different computers, but I don't have the desktop space to fit monitors for each of them. The beautiful display on the iMac and the promise of an external video input seemed to be just what I needed.

Well, as most people figured out, the fly in the ointment is that Apple only includes their Mini DisplayPort (MDP) input on the iMac, and few computers can output this type of video. Even more disappointing, converting from things like VGA, DVI or HDMI isn't straightforward - it's not just a fancy cable...you need more serious conversion. Enter the Kanex XD, one of the first affordable ways to convert HDMI into the MDP input needed by the iMac.

My intent was to put the Kanex behind a simple HDMI video switch, and for my older systems that lack HDMI (or DVI), add a VGA to HDMI converter. The switch lets me select among as many feeds as I want, and now I have a way to connect just about any video source to my iMac. HDMI comes through natively, DVI can be converted to HDMI with a simple cable, and VGA goes through my converter (I use the excellent Atlona VGA to HDMI scaler). Yes, there are issues with sharing the keyboard and mouse, but that's for another review.

The Kanex XD basically does what it says it will. You plug it into the back of your 27" iMac, attach an HDMI video source, press Command + F2 on your iMac keyboard - and viola, you've got external video on your iMac. Still, while I'm thankful to have achieved this much, I have three complaints about the unit:

1. The included documentation is rather sparse. There's more information on the Kanex web site, but it's not particularly clear either.

So the Kanex XD is pretty awesome, it's exactly what I was looking for. I can now connect my PS3 into my iMac and watch movies and play games effortlessly. There are a couple reasons why I chose this product over the leading competitor the Belkin AV360. First off, price. I was able to snag this off Amazon for much less then the AV360. Also, in terms of design, I love the way this device looks and the lights on the sides much more then the Belkin. I also chose the Kanex because it came with a gold plated HDMI cable. Unfortunately, it's a bit short for me, but I do appreciate the HDMI cable included. Other than that, the two products serve the exact same purpose, connecting an HDMI device into your iMac 27". I've had no problems setting it up, as well as no lag. Picture quality is good. And this has been bothering me so much, no matter what HDMI adapter you get, THE IMAC WILL ONLY SUPPORT 720P. This isn't because of the Kanex XD or the Belkin AV360, it is because the iMac can only accept 720p signals through the mini display port. Until Apple updates their software, users are stuck with 720p. Once they do make the switch, this device would be able to support the 1080p signals giving you the FULL HD experience. So, while others are complaining that this device only transmits 720p signals they are completely wrong. It's Apples fault, not Kanexs. I also tried connecting the Kanex to my friends 21.5" iMac,and unfortunately it did not work. Just in case anyone was wondering. Hope this helps anyone's decision! I definitely recommend this product to any iMac 27" user. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic! Works splendidly with the Apple 24" LED Cinema Display.
By A. Kell on May 23, 2012

The Kanex XD HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter for 27 inch iMac allows the user to successfully connect a HDMI equipped source such as a laptop to the Apple 24" LED Cinema Display. While this nifty Kanex device is advertised for the 27" iMac it has absolutely no trouble with the 24" LED display. Yes, the Kanex is the proverbial missing piece. There is but one caveat -- the 24" LED Cinema Display ONLY accepts a resolution of 1920 x 1200. If your source is not capable of outputting this resolution, then this adapter is not the problem. Your source is the problem.

My search began several months prior to this review and my goal was simple -- find a device or adapter which will convert video signal from HDMI to Mini Displayport. At least, I thought this was a simple goal. There is a considerable amount of misinformation out there, as there always is, regarding the correct hardware, software or adapters (yes, plural) required to make this absolutely gorgeous display work outside of its native environment. Well, the search ends here and the answer is the Kanex XD.Read more ›
