tsam19 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hello all Before I spend my money on expensive Thunderbolt cables. I want to use a machine to check another machines display, mirror the contents on a bigger screen. I ask this question; has anyone successfully connected their MacBook Pro to iMac using a mini display port male to male cable ? (plugged into both thunderbolt ports on both machines) CMD + F2 ? I know Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable will do it, but will the mini display port cable male to male do it also ? Any downsides to using the mini display male to male cable ? I know I could check the display using a mini display port cable to HDMI adapter and just connect direct to TV also. Thanks for reading.
