Hi,
I have just bought an M4 Mac mini and am going to use the 5K monitor of my previous 27" 2027 iMac as a second monitor. The board I have - R1811 - is connected it up with the monitor and works fine.
Before sealing up the board in the iMac carcass, I wonder where the best place is to locate it is. Taped or stuck to the back of the monitor would seem simplest as should I need to reopen the case the only cables I need to protect are the power and HDMI cables which are long enough and pass through the RAM access hatch. But could this harm the monitor?
Or would it be better to affix it to the back casing and clear of the monitor. A problem I see with this is reopening and disconnecting leads before the monitor is removed.
Am I overthinking this or is there no best solution?
Many thanks,
David
