“Jean-Francois Baril has a complicated problem to solve: ‘I need to have two monitors that mirror my iMac display, so that I can buy one iMac and use it in three different adjacent rooms (in a doctor’s office),'” Glenn Fleishman writes for Macworld. “Baril wonders if display mirroring would solve the problem.”
“Yes!” Fleishman writes. “Any iMac model with two Thunderbolt ports can support one monitor via each port using the DisplayPort video standard, which uses the same connector type and passes over the Thunderbolt standard.”
“Of course, with keyboards and displays in different rooms, you’ll have to make sure that multiple people aren’t trying to use the same computer at once,” Fleishman writes. “It’s still just a single session you’re working with mirrored across multiple displays. You could find yourself confused when you struggle to move the mouse pointer onscreen as it keeps getting dragged elsewhere.”
