How can I connect my iMac to my HDTV?

What is the best way to connect an iMac to an HDTV if the iMac already has a second monitor attached?

  • I'd like to toggle between the displays with the television mirroring the iMac and the second monitor providing added screen real estate. Does anyone have experience with a multi-output hdmi switch?

  • Answer:

    This depends on the model of iMac that you have. If you have an older one, the multi-output HDMI will not work and will mirror the same content on each display. If you have a iMac from 2011 you can use an Apple TV and AirPlay to provide an additional display.
