Hello

I am afraid that the iMac's do not have a HDMI input so it will not be possible.

Does the iMac have any audio/video inputs ?    ( E.g. Display Port / Mini Display Port )

Straight input won’t work as anything connected must be HDCP 2.2 compatible (ie. The STB must see the connected equipment as a TV or it won’t unlock the encryption). Most converters are one way (USB C input to HDMI output) so will be useless anyway.

There are several questions on the web asking Apple how to use the iMac as an HDMI display.

Apple don't say this can not be done.

But in every case they just ignore the question and explain how to connect an iMac to display on a screen or via a projector.

The workaround maybe call a Samsung TV !
