Would it be possible (and efficient) to just use my iMac (mid-2007, OS X 10.11.16) as a larger monitor for my new Macbook Air? What cables would be optimal, if so? I don't want to use the iMac for anything other than as a monitor. Would the iMac display even stack up against a current 4K ~$400 Dell or LG monitor?
iMac, OS X 10.11
Target Display Mode is not supported on the new MacBook Air M1 for the 2020 MBA devices. You'll have to use an external monitor.

There are a couple of third party apps that will over wifi mimic this functionality. DuetDisplay and LunaDisplay.
I hope this helps.
