I am planning my new home-office setup, where I plan to use the new iMac for private stuff and a Windows based laptop (PC) for work-related stuff (my employer only support PC and not Mac, to be able to access internal resources from VPN).
I want to connect my laptop to an external monitor, and wonder whether it would be an option to use the new iMac for this purpose, instead of using an additional external monitor ?
Nope sorry, you will need to use an external monitor because the 2020 iMac does not support being used as a monitor.
If you have a working Late 2009 thru Mid 2014 iMac, see > Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

+1 to Rudegar's hypopinnoose.
Test the basic macOS Screen Sharing for yourself, before you waste a bunch of time and money on a Viewer.

no you can't
there are some other the network solutions but it would like vnc and teamvewer and remote desktop but not really ideal one would still need another monitor and performance would show it being over the network
Thanks for the quick reply!
Do you know 100% sure that the new iMac cannot be used as an external PC-monitor? I think I have heard that this option was available for older iMacs at least, but Apple might have decided not to allow this any longer (for strategic reasons, perhaps?)
TeamViewer and likewise would not be a good solution, as you point out.
Anyway - thanks for the clarifications!
the support stopped with the first 4k imacs so maybe a technical issue
The new iMac (2020) as an external monitor?
