I know that there is a difference in the drivers and you can't put a 5K screen on a non 5K iMac. But, if all I want to do is convert a 27in iMac into a 5K Retina monitor, will the 27in 5K screen fit a 2011 27in housing?
I have a nice 2011 27in iMac that is in good shape, but I don't use it and I have had to bake the GPU once already. It currently works fine, but I would rather have a Mac Mini M4 and a nice display.
I hate to buy a fully working 5K just to convert it, not finding any with good screens but other issues for sale cheap. My 27in is in good shape. I could likely sell off the internals to help cover some of the costs.
Is that a possibility?
