IMAC | LED Cinema | Apple Thunderbolt Display VESA Mount Tutorial
MD179ZM/A-AMR VESA Mount Adapter Kit allows your 24-inch or 27-inch iMac computer, 24-inch or 27-inch LED Cinema Display, or Apple Thunderbolt Display to be used with a variety of alternative mounting solutions, such as wall mounts and zero-footprint articulating arms, based on the VESA flat-panel mounting interface (FPMI).
With a tool in this kit, you can remove the iMac or display stand and attach the VESA Mount Adapter. Then connect any VESA-compliant mounting solution with a 100 mm x 100 mm attachment. With the VESA Mount Adapter attached, your computer or display complies with the VESA MIS-D, 100, C version specification.
Works with the following models: ◦24-inch iMac (aluminum and glass) ◦27-inch iMac (late 2009, mid 2010, and mid 2011) ◦24-inch LED Cinema Display ◦27-inch LED Cinema Display ◦27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display Not compatible with iMac (late 2012). Apple now offers iMac computers with built-in VESA interface. An iMac from late-2012 to present cannot be retrofitted to include a VESA interface—the built-in VESA interface is only available at the time of purchase from Apple. As a result, Apple has made the new hinge not removable by the user.
**Please check your model to make sure it is compatible and has a user removable hinge.** This VESA adapter is compatible with MD179ZM/A and requires a display with a removable hinge. If your hinge is not user removable, then this adapter will NOT work for you.
Wall mount or articulating arm not included. NOT OEM Apple product
