Review: Can be tricky to setup, but works great for my situation: 2017 iMac 5K - I have a 2020 13" M1 Macbook Pro and a 2017 27" 5K iMac. Feeling drunk on the power of the Apple silicon, I decided I wanted to make the Macbook Pro my main computer. However, that screen... The 5K iMac screen is still great quality, and while the Intel-based iMac is quickly losing it's value, it still has value as a display. That being said, this model is not supported by Apple's AirPlay receiver, which left me with a conundrum: how can I use it as the primary display for my Macbook Pro? That's where the Luna comes in. Upon initial setup, I was a bit disappointed. There was a lot of input lag, and screen refresh lag was apparent when scrolling just about any web page. Additionally, video playback was stuttering. It was unusable. It defaults to a WIFI connection, which in my case was not usable as a primary display. So I dug into what would be required to get this working over a wire. There is an article in Luna's help section on getting the Luna working over Thunderbolt, and this is by far the preferred connection. It can be a little tricky, however. If you're having difficulty getting it working this way, here are a couple of pointers: 1) use a good Thunderbolt cable 2) make sure Internet sharing is disabled on both computers 3) connect the computers together via thunderbolt (I'm going through a hub on the MBP side), and check Network settings for both computers. Ensure that, on both machines, you see a Thunderbolt bridge listed in the Network settings with a Self-assigned IP address (there should be a yellow status indicator). 4) On the computer the Luna is connected to (the computer you want to see on the iMac, in my case the Macbook Pro) open the Luna settings, to to the Mac-to-Mac tab, and select "Connect via Thunderbolt only". If you follow these instructions, you should be able to use the iMac as a primary display. The quality is excellent (retina), the refresh rate is good (perhaps not as good as a native display, but close), and videos play back without stuttering. Here at my office, we also have this exact same setup working on a Mac Studio connected to another 27" 5K iMac, also working great. My only complaint is that once in a while (perhaps once a week), I will connect up to the iMac and lose my mouse cursor. It seems to come back after a few moments of mad clicking and shaking my mouse. Other than that, it's stable and looks great! Hope this helps. Review: Works Great, But Takes a Lot of Work - I purchased this item in order to use an older iMac as the display for my new Mac mini. Ultimately, this product does what I need it to and works rather well. That said, the setup process was definitely *not* easy and took a great deal of time. Astropad, the manufacturer of this product, does not offer over-the-phone tech support so I had to figure most of this out on my own. The lack of such support is pretty frustrating for a device of this price. I set up the app for the product so that it should boot when my Mac mini starts up so that I don't need a second monitor other than my iMac. However, I often have to quit and restart the app on my Mac mini at startup to get it to work. I use a secondary MacBook in my office that I can use to view the screen of my Mac mini, but I'm sure this won't be a satisfactory option for most users. So, buy this with caution. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone that isn't an advanced computer/Mac user and would recommend such users to still be prepared to spend hours setting this device up. That said, if you do manage to get this all set up correctly it is close to an ideal solution for using an old iMac as a screen. ## Features - Double Your Screen Space: Turn your iPad or Mac into external wireless secondary display and create a portable dual monitor laptop setup with the devices you already have - Multiple Modes: Make the most of your devices with Luna’s many modes including Mac to iPad mode, Mac to Mac mode, PC to iPad mode, PC to Mac mode, and Headless mode for Mac Mini and Mac Pro - Easy Set Up: Plug the Luna Display USB-C unit into your computer, launch the free Luna apps on your primary and secondary devices, Luna will automatically connect your devices over your existing WiFi network or USB cable - Full Touch Gestures and Apple Pencil Support: Use touch gestures and Apple Pencil to seamlessly interact with your native computer OS on your IPad as a touch screen monitor monitor. - Compatibility: The primary device must have a USB-C port that support Thunderbolt or DisplayPort. Macs must be running macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later. PCs must be running Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit Build 1809 or later (Luna Display does not support Surface Pro laptops). iPads must be running iOS 12.1 or later. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B1H2Q3RW | | Additional Features | Touchscreen | | Best Sellers Rank | #764,550 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #14,481 in Computer Monitors | | Brand | Astropad | | Built-In Media | Luna Display USB-C hardware.

I would recommend to reach out to Astropad and ask them. **Q: Luna connect a imac 2017 4k as a monitor to a macbook m1 (not pro)?** A: Luna will allow you to use a 2017 iMac as a display for the M1 MacBook, as long as they are running macOS El Capitan or later. **Q: Does the luna display compatible m1 mac studio to 2012 imac 27** A: Luna is compatible with Mac Studio and 2012 iMac, as long as both device's operating systems are running macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later. Please also be sure to plug Luna into a compatible port on the back of the Mac Studio. Front ports on the Mac Studio do not support displays. **Q: Will it work with m1 mac mini (ventura) and late 2015 imac (max monterey) as a display? where would luma be plugged in imac or mac mini?** A: Luna Display is compatible with your setup. You will plug the Luna Display unit directly into a USB-C Thunderbolt port on the Mac Mini. Please keep in mind that M1 Mac Mini devices only support 1 Thunderbolt display and Luna will count as that display. If you are wanting to connect in Headless mode, you will need an HDMI external monitor, keyboard, and mouse for initial setup to install the application, disable FileVault and enable Automatic login. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can be tricky to setup, but works great for my situation: 2017 iMac 5K *by J***O on August 7, 2023* I have a 2020 13" M1 Macbook Pro and a 2017 27" 5K iMac.

My company sent me an M1 Macbook to keep up and I was excited to just link the two and continue using my 27 inch imac as a monitor, but quickly discovered that Apple apparently didn't support this vision. Research eventually let me to this device and having spent 48 hours with it - THIS IS THE FIX If you're planning to go mac-to-mac with this YOU NEED AN ETHERNET CONNECTION. There's no getting around it. Wifi works but there's a noticeable lag and quite a bit of screen tearing/stuttering. With an ethernet connection, it works pretty much like a legit screen extender or mirror should. When you first launch the software there is noticeable "resolution buffering" for a few minutes if that makes sense. Like if I move a window, it blurs like its low res then pops back into crispness. It's kind of like when you would start a Netflix video and its low quality for the first minute but then works its way toward 4k. It only does this for a few minutes after connecting each time and then it eventually settles. Once things are up and running smoothly this product is perfect and everything I wanted and needed to be able to use my old iMac as a monitor for what I do at least. Just know that the Ethernet connection is a must. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/448964896-astropad-luna-display-laptop-screen-extender-turn-your-ipad-macbook](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/448964896-astropad-luna-display-laptop-screen-extender-turn-your-ipad-macbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
