My 27” Intel iMac was in the trash till I me Luna

Having finally retired my 2015 iMac, I’ve been regaling friends with tales of my new Mac Mini keeping sixteen apps open while a rendering Photoshop drawing with twenty-two active layers,

But how I missed that gorgeous, huge, sharp retina screen sitting in my closet. Luna Display rescued me. I discovered that I merely needed to harness the power of Luna to continue using my treasured 27” retina display as a fully capable external monitor.

I ran a Thunderbolt cable netween my new Mini and the old iMac, plugged a Luna Display adapter into one of the USB ports on the Mini, and launched Luna apps on both machines. Immediately - no fuss, no magic - the old iMac serves as an external monitor on the Mini. Gor under $100 I have a $2;999 Mac Studio equivalent display and Insave the recycly fees ascwell.

That’s a real win. I’m happy.

My aging iMac revitalized again

My iMac has 21.5" screen and macOS Catalina 10.15.7 loaded. Consequently it is getting slow and sluggish. It cannot handle loading newer apps. That makes me think it is time to buy a new desktop computer. Then I encountered Luna. I thought with Luna, I can use my iMac as the 2nd monitor for my MacBook. In this way, the iMac will live as long as it is physically running and the obsolescence is out of the equation. The Luna software installation is relatively straightforward. A minor problem I had was the small discrepancies between two sources of installation instructions in terms of the order of the procedure, which made me a little confused. The software works as advertised. The software for the 2nd monitor terminates here and there if the computer idles for certain time which bothers a little but tolerable. Now I have an option to use my MacBook as a standalone device or with a bigger iMac monitor while using the iMac as a desktop computer to do the things its OS can handle as well.

Astropad Luna

Using an Astropad Luna to use and older iMac with 4K screen that doesn't have screen sharing as a second scree on a new Mac mini. The installation process was very simple and was completed in short order. This required installing the Luna App on both the older and new Mac mini. The only beef I have is that, on the new Mac mini, the instructions reflected an older version of System Preference. I managed, however to muddle through without any errors. With the two Macs working together over the LAN, there is no noticeable delays. Oh, and a second beef🙂: The old iMac's Retina screen looks so glorious that I had to order a new 4K screen to replace the 1080p main screen.
