Can I use Luna with an adapter?

How much latency can I expect with Luna?

Latency is dependent on multiple factors with your workspace. Learn how to minimize latency →

This turned my 27 inch 2017 iMac into a wonderful high resolution monitor

After Apple stopped supporting security updates for my 27 inch 2017 iMac and I bought an Apple laptop, with the Luna Display device and an Apple Thunderbolt 4 cable, my iMac became a tremendously beautiful high resolution 5K monitor. I have no complaints about it at all. It works beautifully on the highest resolution. Please note that I read that some generic Thunderbolt 4 cables show a lag of data and thus pixelation on the screen, I found a vendor that had Apple Thunderbolt 4 cables for much less than directly from Apple.

Now I do not run the iMac at all on the Internet, and still I have the same large iMac as a beautiful display on which I can do lots of work from the laptop.

I still use a wired keyboard and mouse for the iMac as a monitor, and I use my Bluetooth extended keyboard and wireless trackpad and paired to the laptopto control the laptop activities. Still, the wired keyboard and mouse that is plugged into the iMac can control things that are being done on the laptop when using the lunar display equipment and apps.

I think you will like this product a lot.

Works like a charm!

iMac Fusion medio 2011 succesfully connected to a Mac Studio M2 Max. Harddrives of the iMac reachable for extra storage, very useful.

Luna rocks!

This is the best hack since the introduction of plug-in-play interchanges! Got the Luna, bought a $100 2014 iMac with the Retina display, plugged a USB-C to A cable in and WALLA!!! I’ve got a Studio display for my M3 PowerBook that’ll act as an independent email and web surfer when I’m not using the PB on it! True, a slight delay, but perfect for the large graphics with tiny details that I am working on.
I’m gonna do it again in my office.

Thanks AstroPad!

Great product, fully functionnal

I ordered a Luna display to turn my old iMac into a 4K monitor for my MacBook Air, and it works great ! It's also easy to set-up, the step-by-step instructions are very clear.

The darn thing works!

I have this big juicy high-res 2011 iMac, and its value to me now is as a cloud-based PC. But this cute little plug-in now gives it an additional life as a monitor for doing my day job. Love it!!
