Please refer to Target Display Mode (Target Display Mode). However it may or may not work depending on the version of Mac OS installed on the 2018 MBP. My recommendation is to simply buy an external display which is much more reliable then Target Display Mode ever was, easier to setup and believe it or not not as expensive as you think because Target Display Mode requires expensive cabling to be done.


Please remember that Macs are computers they are NOT designed to be external displays for other devices!
