With a properly shaped piece of metal, all you really need is a tap and die kit to create threaded bolt holes, plus perhaps a drill for the VESA mount plate. Not unlike the original iMac VESA adapter. Thus, all you really need to do is fabricate a short adapter that will attach to the mount assembly internally, extend beyond the shell of the iMac, and attach to a VESA mount plate. The mount assembly is much the same as the old one with the major difference being the aforesaid orientation of the set screws. Important note: Macworld and I take absolutely no responsibility for any damage you do to your iMac during any step of any alteration or use of a homemade adapter. I’m merely pointing out possible paths to VESA compatibility for those willing to take a risk-an extremely slight one if you’re capable. Alternatively, the brains to let someone who really knows what they’re doing handle it.
Now I’m going to address the distinct minority of the iMac community who have the ability and gumption to disassemble their iMac, as well as fabricate simple metal parts. The good news is that this mess has likely played a role in Apple doing a U-turn and making plans to get back into the display business …ĭell launches ‘world’s first’ 31.Advanced DIY (or have someone else do it) Not only are the monitors extremely un-Apple-like in their grey plastic cases, but a serious technical fault first identified by us led to the temporary withdrawal of the product until LG fixed the Wi-Fi interference problem.
When the company finally did make an official recommendation in the form of the LG UltraFine 4K and 5K monitors, it wasn’t exactly a great one.
All Apple said at the time was that ‘there are a number of great third-party options available for Mac users,’ but without pointing to anything in particular. Not just because we want matching aesthetics and the reassurance you get with an all-Apple setup, but also because there was no obvious third-party replacement. Many of us were deeply disappointed when Apple appeared to be exiting the display business last summer.
