Review: Great bit of kit but DON'T LET THE MECHANISM RETRACT when you unscrew the foot!! - A quality item for sure but oh my god BE CAREFUL when you remove the foot from your Apple device! The first part is easy, use the piece of credit-card-sized plastic they provide to undo the latch and allow you to pull the foot out and expose the 8 screws. When you undo the screws DO NOT let the mechanism that holds the screws flip back down into the device. It takes an almost unbelievable amount of force, a friend (to hold the latch open), a sturdy paperclip to hook through a screw hole, needle-nosed pliers, or a specialist Apple tool that you probably can't get any longer to pull it back out. It will take you ages, you will question your sanity, you can't give up as you need that latch out even to put the original foot back on...you may scratch and/or break your Apple device...just be super careful when that last screw comes out, how you lift the foot away. TRUST ME. If you do mess up, there is an Apple Technician Guide for the 24" Apple Cinema Display you can find online which shows you what to do. It assumes you have the Apple tool, but you can at least get an idea of the "how". One final thing - most monitor arms will just explode if you try to mount the 10kg 27" LED Cinema Display on them. You'll need a heavy duty one. Good luck!
Review: Works perfectly with my iMac 2011 - I was given an old iMac and upgraded it to 16GB RAM and added a SSD drive, I then wanted to wall mount it to complete a home office setup and this converter plate worked a treat. It's incredibly solid and the installation was simple. It has saved space on my desk, allowed me to mount it higher than the stand which is better for me using it, and it can now swing on its arm so the screen is more useful for movies etc. Wall mounting the iMac also allowed me to get it much closer to the wall. Overall I'm very happy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this adaptor work with the 20" 23" & 30" cinema displays the code for these displays is M9649G/A**
A: No.  The code for this adapter is MD179ZM/A

**Q: Will this work on a mid 2010 imac?**
A: Bought one when I saw it on offer with the intent of using it with My 2010 27" iMac, as soon as I got a new iMac. I haven't fitted it yet but I can see no reason why it would not fit.

**Q: Is this compatible with the Apple a1082 Cinema Display?**
A: Sorry I have no idea, I used it on a 28” 2014 iMac

**Q: Hi, presuming this model is not compatible with the iMac 21.5” model (late 2013), does anyone know anywhere selling one of same design that is? Thanks**
A: The earlier 21.5”  iMacs cannot take a VESA mount as far as the Apple website is concerned. Earlier 27” can’t either. The Amer is the only bracket I found after a lot of searching and the website is fairly comprehensive. The issue is the way the stand locks into the back of the screen. There are however some sites where you can bolt a bracket on to the existing stand but it really looks Poer!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neat, sturdy and secure.
*by B***Y on 19 March 2018*

Great item. High quality, solid and easy to fit. Takes some time to remove to original iMac foot and secure this due to the amount of torx screws, but well worth the effort. Hex key and bolts also take a while as there isn’t a lot of room to rotate the key. I combined this with a low profile VESA wall mount and it looks very neat and flush.
