Thunderbolt question.

ok here scenario... have 21.5" 2011 imac.
i'm wanting dual-monitor setup. found led monitor deal.

question is, can hook via hdmi mini display port hdmi adaptor? or must have thunderbolt hdmi? know thunderbolt backwards compatible i'm unsure how works video.

if mini display adaptor work, picture fine? 1080p monitor. help!

 

for display thunderbolt port mini display port. (with 1 exception, apple thunderbolt display works on thunderbolt port. that's because of other features built display)

normal display can use mini display port adapter like. suggest hdmi or dvi adapter.

(a quick search have answered question pretty fast...)
