Q: Sharing cinema display with iMac and Macbook
I have the following:
- Early 2014 13" Macbook Air
- Late 2009 21.5" iMac
- 27" Cinema Display (2013 I believe)
What I'd like to accomplish (in order of preference):
- Use both the iMac and Cinema Displays as dual monitors with the ability to easily switch between the iMac and Macbook Air as the computer I'm using (while keeping the same keyboard and mouse)
- Use only the Cinema Display as my monitor with the ability to easily switch between the iMac and Macbook Air as the computer I'm using (while keeping the same keyboard and mouse)
Some options I'm considering:
- The SnapX display switcher -- though unless I'm mistaken it doesn't appear to support iMacs and also gets mixed reviews (but I'd be open to something similar)
- Screen sharing between the Macs (would open to suggestions as to using native Apple screen share vs other options)
Thanks in advance for any help!
