Last year my 2015 iMac died after a decade of service. Around the same time I acquired a new Mac mini. Unlike the iMac, the Mac mini doesn't have a built-in monitor. I needed to acquire a new one. Unfortunately even newer displays in my price range would be a quality-of-life step down from the iMac screen I was migrating away from. I opted to save money and reduce electronics waste by repurposing the still-intact iMac screen.

Harris LapiroffConverting an old iMac to a 5K displayLast year my 2015 (or possibly late 2014) iMac died after a decade of service. Around the same time I acquired a new Mac mini. Unlike the iMac, the Mac mini doesn’t have a built-in monitor. I needed to acquire a new one. Unfortunately even newer displays in my price range would be a quality-of-life step down from the iMac screen I was migrating away from. New 5K monitors are $800+ and better quality ones – such as the $1,600 Apple Studio Display – are much more expensive.
