I am planning to convert an iMac 5K from late 2015 into an external monitor for my MacBook Pro M1 Max and MacBook Pro M2 Max. My main goal is to utilize the impressive screen resolution of 5120 x 2880, along with retaining the functionalities of the camera and speakers from the original iMac. To achieve this, I have conducted some research and found a board available on AliExpress that may suit my needs. However, I am unsure about its compatibility with my project requirements.
It’s crucial for me to ensure that any components I purchase will work seamlessly together and allow me to benefit from the iMac’s high resolution and built-in audio and video features. I would appreciate your guidance on the best approach to take for this conversion. Specifically, I am looking for recommendations on any additional hardware, adapters, or boards that I might need, as well as steps I should follow to ensure a successful setup. If you have experience with similar projects or insights into the compatibility of various components, your advice would be invaluable.
I want to make sure that I can maximize the potential of both my iMac and my MacBook Pro systems. Thank you for your assistance!
