Hi everyone,
So here's my situation. I got two identical 27'' 2017 iMac (5k retina) Catalina 10.15.7 at my job. I want to use one of them as an extended desktop for the first one.
I know TDM don't work anymore, I know about Luna and duet.
I want to know if there's a way to do so without having to pay for an app, if not what's the best pay option I have to do use my second iMac as an extended desktop.
Thank you :)!

There are no options for what you want to do, your question comes up many times on these forums every day and the answer is always the same. If you really need an external display for one of your iMacs, please buy one. This solution is much more simple, is dead reliable, is less expensive than buying expensive cabling and just works.
If that is not what you would like to do, totally understand and wish you the best of luck.

Hi éric192,
It appears you're wondering how to extend the display of your one iMac to your second iMac. This article has details on how to use multiple displays with a Mac, including possibly extending the display: Use multiple displays with your Mac - Apple Support If those steps don't help, you may need to look into possible other options for this.
Best wishes to you.
Hello Claire504,
Unfortunately this article did not help me out (already try all of those step before posting here).
But thank you for trying!
I guess I'll try the Luna display then, seems to be the best option I have for now.
Thanks!
Okay and good luck.
