Hi,

Quick question, is it possible to connect a mac mini late 2014 intel core i5 model to my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and use it as display when i need to use the mini? i know both have thunderbolt 2. tried the command f2 key and it doesnt work. i dont think it will but i just wanna know if its possible.

Sadly, Apple removed the "target display mode" starting with the late 2014 iMac. 🙁

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and later iMac models can't be used as Target Display Mode displays.​

You could do screen sharing. Certainly not the same as a directly connected display but it's not bad over gigabit ethernet. I use it with my 2014 Mini iTunes server.
