depend on the chromebook if it has hdmi / displayport or dvi input connectors rather then output ones

it would be 100% transparent for the imac that it was a chromebook and not a normal monitor it was connecting to

if the chromebook does not have hdmi / displayport or dvi input connectors, no dice

Many thanks for your response. I think this will definitely solve my problem. I will now invest in the correct cable.

not sure if it came across but, my post expressed doubts it would work, while I have zero experience with chromebooks I haven't seen other normal laptops with hdmi input just output

Ah! thanks for that, I will make sure I investigate fully before doing anything rash.
