Macworld's Kanex XD Coverage

Kanex XD If you own a 27-inch iMac and want to make use of its screen to play console games, watch Blu-ray movies, or enjoy HD TV shows from a cable box or DVR, the Kanex XD can make it happen. Due to a limitation of the iMac, however, you'll have to settle for 720p resolution instead of 1080p.
