Hi,
I'm looking to replace my iMac a new Mac mini M4 and was wondering if it were possible to use the iMac as a monitor for the mini, and also, if possible, what would I need to do.
My current iMac is as follows:
3GHz 6-core Intel Core i5
Radeon Pro 560x 4GB
8 GB 2667 MHz DDR
Retina display.
Best regards.

Nope sorry, those Mac models do not support the old plug & play cabled Target Display Mode features.
carefully read > Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
If you get a new M4 Mac mini, you'll need an external display for setup and main display.
Many thanks for the fast response. My assumption was that I would not be able to, but I just needed someone with the knowledge to confirm it.
Again, thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Target display mode is kinda a lost cause. Look up Luna Display. It works with old iMacs
How can I use iMac as monitor for Mac mini?
