From a quick search it seems you can use the DisplayPort input to use it as a screen, you'll need to get an adapter from whatever input (scart, component, etc.) to DisplayPort to make it work though.

There is the tech spec for it. It's the 27" one

Do new Macs have a Video In connection to allow it to be used as an external display as sorts?

You need something that will allow a TV INPUT on your computer, graphics card only provide outputs.

A TV card would do the trick.

You would need a tv in card/usb dongle and it would be a bit clunky.

Possible if you really really wanted to though.

I really have no idea. The box is connected to a TV atm but need to know what we need if it is possible to get VW through the iMac

Wouldn't you need a TV card of some sort?

Is it possible to connect a VM box to the iMac 27"? Unsure if there would be some sort of cable from scart to a Mac fitment. I've had a look on google but nothing new/relevant came up.

Anyone shed any light?
