Wasn't sure whether to put this question here or in apple hardware....

Since the MSI Z77A-GD80 motherboard has Thunderbolt am i right in saying that you'll be able to connect your PC to an iMac and use it as a monitor ?

I'm sure you cannot but I would't see why you would want to anyway?

I know that Macs can use other Macs as displays but it would all be down to whether Windows recognises the display and has a driver to use it.

Because I have an iMac for every day use and a PC for gaming. The imac has a wonderful display and it would be nice if i could connect my PC to it.
