Can I use a 27" iMac as a additional monitor for another 27" iMac?
- by Darren Newton
I currently have a 27" iMac i7 with the 512mb ATI card. After looking at prices on other Apple displays it appears I can purchase another low-end 27" iMac (Core 2 Duo basic model) for less than a 30" display.
3 Part question:
Can I easily use the lower-end iMac as an additional monitor to my higher end iMac?
While I am using the lower-end iMac as an additional monitor can I still take advantage of its CPU to do things like run a webserver, compress video with Handbrake, etc?
Are there any other 27" LCD displays with the same resolution (2560 x 1440) cheaper than the basic iMac (~$1699.00 US)?
Any insights appreciated.
