Any adapter to use my Mac from late 2012 as screen for Lenovo Thinkpad?

Hi, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad for work and now that I am working from home I would like to use my Mac (21.5" from late 2012) as screen. Is there any tested adapter that you would recommend me using to do this? Thanks a lot!

Sorry but your iMac is a computer and is not an external display for a PC. I'd recommend buying an external display for your Lenovo and using that. We get hundreds of similar posts weekly from users, they have increased since so many are now working from home and the answer is always the same.


If you have a Costco in your general area, they have several nice ones prices at $150 and lower.
