• Using Late 2009 Imac as external display for PC with display port 1.2

  Hi all

  Thanks for your time.  I searched for a definitive answer to this question before I go ahead and make a purchase.

  I have a Late 2009 Imac 27 ".  I would like to use it as an external monitor for my new PC, which is a graphics card EVGA GTX 970 with a displayport 1.2 output.  I'll be able to use a DisplayPort / mini displayport cable to connect to my Imac to use as an external monitor for my PC.

  The Imac doesn't have the speed I need for photo editing but I like the contrast and the size of the screen offers.

  Any input would be appreciated!
