Random question. I'm not sure if this will work since the model iMac that I have does not support Target Display Mode, but figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone else has found a viable workaround…
Does anyone know if this setup would work to use my 2017 iMac (personal computer) as a monitor for my HP EliteBook (work laptop)?
HP laptop > DisplayPort > DP to HDMI adapter > HDMI > Blackmagic eGPU > Thunderbolt 3 > iMac
And if the answer is "no," does anyone know a way to use this iMac as a monitor for this laptop that doesn't involve Basecamp or remote desktop software (i.e. I want to be able to plug in and accomplish this, if possible)?
Thanks!
