Wanting to use my 27” 2015 iMac as monitor for new MacBook Pro

I want to use my 27” 2015 iMac as the monitor/screen for my new 2024 MacBook Pro. What cable(s) do I need to make this happen?! Info has been so confusing and I just want to connect my laptop to my iMac so I don’t need to purchase a new screen and can keep things all Mac. Please help!!

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

There are third-party solutions such as Luna Display, but they are only suited for uses where there will not be fast motion and where lag time is not an issue, such as for tool palettes for an app. I think you'd be happiest just buying a new monitor.

Sorry, It’s not possible to do this. Target Display mode is not supported on a 2024 MacBook Pro.
