TargetBridge: Use an iMac as Display for a Modern Mac

• ThomasWaldmann 5mo ago
  Use an (old) iMac as an external display for an Apple Silicon Mac — free, no dongle, via Thunderbolt Bridge. Apple dropped "Target Display Mode" in 2014 with the 5K iMac — and it never came back. TargetBridge brings it back via software, streaming your screen to the iMac at up to 5K over a direct Thunderbolt cable. Since v2.0.0, you can now even connect multiple iMacs to get multiple gorgeous 5K displays! FOSS, under the MIT license.

  Looks Good

  That's great! I have a 2015 late iMac 27", and I've already ordered the TB3 to TB2 adapter and TB2 cable. It's not cheap, but it's definitely worth it compared to buying a new monitor!

    Yeah, it's a pity that TB2 cables and a TB3-TB2 adapter are still that expensive. Considering the age of that stuff, one would usually expect that to be very cheap.

  Would be good if there was a version that runs on linux as that is probably what most of these old machines are running now (mine is)
