I need to fix a desktop PC. Before I lug out a LCD display, is there a simpler way using a iMac?
For example my 2017 21" 4K iMac. It would be really nice if I could have a cable here I could connect to the PC so the iMac acts as a monitor for that PC. I would still use a separate keyboard and mouse for the PC though. Then similar to flipping AV option on a TV, I would flip over and see the PC on my Mac screen. I don't need high resolution, it could even be windowed. It's not permanent so I'm not considering networking and SSH. I'd like to wipe and re-image Windows 10 to the PC yet keep a somewhat tidy desk.
Is there some sort of way I could rig this so that I could easily flip between Mac and PC? Or perhaps a cable I can buy and save for the next time I need to do this?
