I was trying to connect my 2017 iMac running Ventura, as a 2nd monitor, to my new M4 Mac mini.
Then, I learned I won't be able to, because my 2017 iMac doesn't support Target Display Mode
I also connected them with a Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable which did nothing.
Can someone confirm that if I want to connect a 2nd monitor to my M4 Mac mini, I'll need some other monitor/display as my 2017 iMac is not going to work?
Target Display Mode has been dead for years and neither of those Mac's support it over a cable.
carefully read > Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support
With limited results, you can use ScreenSharing or third-party software like LunaDisplay.
However, your best bet is to get and use a second after-market external display with the Mac mini.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought but wanted to be sure.
Cheers.
You're welcome.
