To be clear, the new 21.5" iMacs DO support target display mode, but only from Thunderbolt sources. So until there is a suitable adapter (which AFAIK is planned from some of the usual suspects but not yet available), you're out of luck.

But once there is an adapter, you can use the 21.5" just fine.
