Yes use Target Display mode with older iMacs but depends on compatibility.
Google it.
Hey! Don't put in things in a quote I didn't say. I didn't talk about older iMacs - I meant modern iMacs.
The OP has an old iMac so I thought he might still be able to chain or as a screen these days?
Of course. Good and helpful. Just don't like when people are changing what I said that's all.

I obviously misunderstood your meaning.

So if you buy a Mini you're looking at prices for an Apple display vs something much less expensive. Now, I have two Dells. I suspect Apple same size/resolution are somewhat better, albeit I'm not interested in arguing it, but I've put maybe 300 bucks into this and they're fine, my eyesight isn't any good anyway.
