Is it possible to use iMAC 27 5K 2019 as an external display for iPad Pro 12.9 in 16:9 full screen?
Of course with up-to-date OSs (Ventura 13.1 and iPadOS 16.2).
Thanks
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
To be clear, your iMac lacks a video input - and as such, the hardware is incapable of what you are attempting to achieve.

You are perhaps confusing the capabilities of your all-in-one iMac computer (with built-in display) - with those of a dedicated computer monitor.
You Mac has a Thunderbolt port that is used to connect with external Thunderbolt peripherals - including a second monitor. This connection is not intended to accept a video input from another computer - such an your iPad.
If you have a stand-alone computer monitor, this can be connected to your iPad (via an appropriate HDMI or VGA adapter).
Unless your computer monitor has an HDMI or VGA port - or a USB-C/Thunderbolt port that supports DP Alt Mode - you’ll not be able to use the display as an external monitor with an iPad.
Yes, that's right. The question could actually be, is it possible to use the iMac's built-in monitor for iPad in a similar way to the Screen Mirroring function, but not in 4:3 but in 16:9 std resolution?
I think this is a question of software, as the hardware can certainly do this function.
Thanks for the reply, the iMAC has a USB-C/Thunderbolt port, but the simple plug and play mode does not work. Any other ideas?
Got the point. Thanks for your time.
