Thunderbolt is a hardware interface that supports data transfer and video output, while DisplayPort is a video interface standard. Thunderbolt 3 and later versions utilize the USB-C connector and are compatible with DisplayPort, allowing for video signals to be transmitted through the Thunderbolt connection. This means devices that support Thunderbolt can often also connect to DisplayPort monitors, enabling high-resolution displays and multiple monitor setups. Essentially, Thunderbolt incorporates DisplayPort as part of its functionality, enhancing its versatility.

Additionally, check the display's power requirements, as it may need an external power source.


Will blu-ray playback on a 21.5 inch iMac work by plugging the one end of the HDMI cable from the blu ray player into the iMac's mini display port using an HDMI to mini displayport adaptor?

It's unlikely that HDMI based video will work with a DisplayPort input. Although DisplayPort can be connected to an HDMI input with a passive adaptor, DisplayPort does not support broadcast color space such as YUV. HDMI can accept and display the RGB format used by DisplayPort but DisplayPort cannot handle YUV which is typically output from a Bluray player. DisplayPort is an emerging standard and during the time it is being implemented, there will be numerous practical adaptations to the capabilities of DisplayPort. For that reason, this answer may not be valid in the future. Indeed, it is likely that there are already products that can handle YUV so the only sure way to find out if it works is to try it.
