Hey nopointsforsecondplace,

Your iMac does support Target Display Mode, so you should be able to do this. You will need a Thunderbolt to Mini Displayport cable. This article explains how to set up and use Target Display Mode -

Thanks a lot man! That sounds right. I read somewhere that I would need a mini Displayport to mini Dispalyport cable but I can't see why since the macbook pro has a thunderbolt port?
