We used Kanex XD to hook both our PS3 and XBox 360 to our 27" iMac. It works great! The picture is nice and clear and the sound is excellent. Switching back and forth is just a matter of pressing a couple keys. It was very simple to set up and, so far, we have not had any problems. We live in a small apartment and had hoped to be able to use the iMac as a replacement for our TV. With Kanex we were able to do that! Definitely worth every penny!

PS3 Slim is connected with the iMac
I am enjoying everything with the Kanex XD. Love the graphics of blu-ray movies and ps3 games. The only issue i have is the netflix dvd. It would not display to the imac when i load the dvd into my ps3. I get the sound but not the video. Overall, the product is excellent.

Works great. I was surprised to be able to use this with my MBP with the DVI to HDMI cable into this adapter. Obviously limited on resolution this way but it worked great.

2.8GHz Core i7 iMac 27", late 2009.
Used to connect Playstation 3 to iMac...used for PS3 gaming and playback of Blu-Ray videos.
Excellent product, followed the provided sequence for trouble-free installation; no 'cons' come to mind.
Has done everything it was advertised to do.

2.I enjoy a blue lei and trune (digital television tuner) very much because it ties to PS3, HTX-22HD (home made of ONKYO theater speaker), and Kanex XD.
3.The merit must tie to iMac without the image delay.
The weak point cannot be output by 720P by receiving the signal of 1080P (?). If Apple corresponds, it is not a weak point and it becomes it.
720P signal of PC(VGA:Radeon5550) equipped with HDMI was not able to be output to iMac (?).
Do you run in my English?
It is large satisfactory for the product.

Use it mostly from my xbox 360 or ps3 to my iMac 27' (2010).
Pros- allows me to play a game on the great monitor of the iMac so I don't even mind letting my wife use the 42 sharp LCD to watch tv
Cons- sometimes it takes a one or two tires to get it to put the hdmi signal onto the iMac

iMac Late 2009 27" Corei7.
Xbox 360 > HDMI out > Kanex XD > iMac
Pros:HDMI in to iMac.
Cons: Somtimes i have to reset the power to the XD for it to recognize the HDMI input signal from the 360. This seems to happen at random.

2010 iMac 27"
Bell satellite TV hdmi out to kanex xd to miniDP input on mac
pros: works like a charm, great quality tv on my mac, saves money and space, am extremely happy with it, nice and small, fair price, great finish that mimics the mac, comes with the cables
cons: stupid blue light is on constantly and lights up the room at night, tricky setup (didn't work the first time and had to try it again), can't control the volume through the apple remote, gets really hot, would be nice to be powered through the connections to the Mac or satellite box

Would be a 5 if you had worked with apple to ensure the device would be able to support 1080p. I realize that this is on apple but the way you advertise this product is deceiving... Works great but I sure would like 1080p.

I use the Kanex HD with a Playstation 3 and an iMac. I use it to display the Playstation 3 on my iMac screen, plugged in the normal way. The first unit I received was faulty, but once I realized it was product error I ordered a new one that worked immediately and perfectly.

I'm using the Kanex XD to connect an Xbox 360 Elite to my 27" iMac, and basically it works flawlessly. The only negative thing I can think of is the price, and the fact that it's needed at all - an HDMI input on the iMac itself would have been more convenient.

Im using it to input my PlayStation3 into iMac. Works great, all video and audio works flawlessly. However, I noticed that PS3 always detect my monitor to have 1080 input capability, and results in blskc screen. I have to use composite cable to uncheck 1080 to make it work. If Kanex XD can automatically rewrites EDID or downscale 1080p to 720p, and add a screen to show when input is not being relayed to help user understand what is going on, it will be a wonderful product. :)

i used it for my ps3.
it has a nice big display and for 720 looks really great.
cables r way to short. should have made ALL the cables longer especially the power cord. and over priced for such a simple device. but to late i already bought it at 150$
but works great haven't had a problem....better not have a problem

I bought this product for watching blu-ray on the 27" imac computer screen. I liked that I COULD actually watch blu-ray on it! The quality was better than a regular cd, but not as vibrant and brilliant and smooth as 1080p on a 1080p TV. On that point, I was dissapointed. It also took quite a bit to get set up (you have to plug everything in just right and in the right order or it won't work.

2. Actually, I'm disappointed of Kanex XD. Because picture quality is not good when 720 on iMac 27".
$150 plus a little bit can buy another 22-24" monitor instead of Kanex XD.
This product is only for someone haven't enough places to setup 2 monitors.
