Q: Can new 27" iMac/5k be used as monitor for 2010 MacMini?
I am interested in the iMac 27" with 5K display but would need to use it as a monitor for a mid-2010 Mac Mini Server as well. These two computers would be used in the same office essentially for two different purposes, so I would need to switch back and forth once or twice per day. I don't want two monitors on the same desk.
I saw that the screen targeting mode does not work with the new 27" iMac. Is there some way to do this that I have not discovered?
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

To further expound on Duane's answer please carefully read:
Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode - Apple Support specifically where it indicates:
Note: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and later iMac models can't be used as Target Display Mode displays.
