Hi. Can an iMac 2007 be used as an external monitor with a MacBook Pro 2011 with a mini displayport to mini displayport cable (in the MacBook's Thunderbolt port)? Thanks.

If the two Macs meet the requirements in this Apple document, Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support, and are running the required systems then it can be used as a monitor.
