[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1870876, member: 46727"] There is a possibility that the display is defective although I would think that WOOT checked it out before releasing it for sale. I did some more research just a while ago about using the TB display with an iMac. There are many examples of how to attach a TB display to a MBP, MBA, and Mac Mini, but very few show anything at all for an iMac. But what specs there are clearly say that it must be attached via the TB port or it will not work. Can you tell if the display is powering up at all? I realize there is no fan and it might be difficult to tell if it's powering on. One way to test is turn the display on and attach a USB device (flash drive, etc) to one of the USB 2 output ports to see if any power is going to the device. [/QUOTE]
