HDMI TO MINI DISPLAY PORT (OR DISPLAY PORT) However, this time I had a new option: USB-C.Ī deep search led me to this apple page which explains the mystery of Target Display Mode, and this one which explained the ports.īasically my 2010 summer iMac has a mini Display port (compared to later ones which has Thunderbolt). I had done this exercise earlier, and never found a way to connect my windows laptop to the beautiful iMac screen because I was looking to get the video signal from an HDMI output of the laptop. Once again, I searched online if there was a way to use my iMac as a display. It immediately became apparent that it won’t be easy. I almost ended up buying one and was trying to reason how I will fit it on my 47″by 23″ desk right beside my 27″ screen of my 2010 iMac. My natural instinct was to search online for a monitor. I have a powerful 14″ work laptop (windows) but when you have to use any machine for an extended period of time, screen size does matter. With the world battling coronavirus, I have been working from home since last few weeks.
