    Hello cbaudo,

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 

     

    I see that you want to use your iMac as a second monitor for your MacBook Air. The following article provides the necessary specifications and instructions for using Target Display Mode. Use your iMac as a display with Target Display Mode

     

    From the limited specifications you have provided, it is very possible, but compare your exact system specifications with the system requirements in the article. 

     

    Best regards.
