Use iMac as external monitor for PC?
Hi Community, my first ever question to you..
I'd like to use my beloved first 20" iMac (I keep for good old times sake) as a monitor to a PC. It appears it could work, but perhaps someone could confirm?
Some data on the iMac:
Model: iMac 7.1
Build: 10K549
Running: MacOS X 10.6.8
Serial number: W8***X86
It features a
with the symbol as per this screen shot.
I understand that a feature called Target Display Mode will have to be supported in this iMac for it to work.
(I think?) I will be looking to connect the HDMI port on the PC to the Mini Display Port on the iMac.
Great if someone wants to answer, but totally understand if this is a bit too much of old wine in new bottles....
On a personal note: I like to re-use this iMac for sustainability reasons.
Many thanks,
