Luna Display - Second Display Hardware

stilll struggling getting my late 2013 iMac to be a true monitor for my new MacBook Pro. I guess I'm being slow and confused about what should be done on each of the machines. I'll get it eventually because I really want to use that iMac monitor and biog screen. I'm sure it is me and not the product.

It works, but it is not a great experience.

I've bought this dongle to connect my 2017 iMac 5K to new Macbook Air M5 as a monitor. Setup was easy with a Type-C cable that was recommended in the instructions. But it feels sluggish in 5K resolution and lag is noticeable even after adjusting bandwidth and shifting refresh rate to 45Hz. It not the same as having a regular monitor connected with HDMI or Thunderbolt port to the laptop.

iMac new lease of life

Fantastic to be able to use my 2015 27" retina iMac with my newer MacBook pro. I use a USB wired connection and for everyday tasks there is no lag (also using mac keyboard and mouse). Easy to set up. Very slightly lag when editing video on FCP and a couple of small bugs but overall a really useful piece of kit (And no subscription once you have bought it)
