#HOW TO USE AN IMAC AS A MONITOR ONLY FOR PC MAC#

However, even though there’s no official Target Display Mode support, third-party software/hardware solution Luna Display features a Mac-to-Mac mode that looks like it should work with the new iMacs.Įxtend your display to any Mac using Luna Display’s Mac-to-Mac Mode. Need a larger display option? Use any extra Mac computer as a second or extended display of your primary Mac computer. In the tech specs for the new M1 iMac, Apple only details support for video output, not input: While it was probably a long shot to hold out hope for Target Display Mode being revived with the new M1 iMac (and Big Sur), it would have definitely added value for those with multiple Macs. Target Display Mode was last supported in the mid-2014 iMacs and earlier (non-Retina models) and Apple officially killed the feature with macOS Mojave and later.

The new iMacs feature what looks like a really nice display. Unfortunately, the new all-in-one Macs don’t list support for Target Display Mode but there is a third-party workaround. While the feature hasn’t been offered in iMacs since 2014, there was hope floating around in the Apple community that it might make a return with the new M1 iMacs. RELATED: What's New in macOS 10.One of the handy features of older iMacs was Target Display Mode, an option that allowed you to use an iMac as an external display.

The new text selection and editing gestures from iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 work here as well. Swipe with two fingers to navigate, click and select using Apple Pencil or a mouse. What this means is that to successfully use Sidecar as a secondary display, you’ll need to get used to a new interaction model. This works natively for the Mark Up feature in Preview along with third-party apps like Affinity Photo, Adobe Illustrator, and more. Apple Pencil does shine when used to draw on the screen in supported apps. It can only be used for clicking and selecting things on the Mac. The Apple Pencil also can’t be used to navigate the UI. The Mac’s keyboard and trackpad, of course, works reliably. And the only way to click or tap on elements is by using the Apple Pencil or a mouse that’s connected to the iPad (which brings up a cursor on the screen). So when you tap on the screen with a finger or you try to scroll with a finger, nothing happens. The UI elements in Mac was quite small for this to work reliably. If you were hoping that Sidecar would turn the Mac into an iPad where you’ll be able to use your fingers to tap on the screen and move around, alas, this is not it. While the touch UI does work, it’s not intuitive. You can use touch, Apple Pencil, and a mouse to control the Mac display on your iPad. You’ll see a sidebar with controls and shortcuts, along with a virtual Touch Bar at the bottom of the screen.

Once Sidecar is enabled, the iPad works as more than just a monitor.
