[dba-Tech] iMac as Monitor

[Rocky Smolin]

I am totally uneducated about Mac - this I think is an iMac of the 2011-2015
vintage.  It has a port on the back that I believe from the description
here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201736 is a mini-display port.  But
will this port work as an input port extending the display on my PC same as
I have now?  Or is it for output only?
