Curious if anyone here is using Luna Display full-time to turn an Intel iMac into a monitor for a MacBook or Mac Mini. How has it worked for you?

Less arduous than gutting an iMac to turn it into a standalone monitor but seems highly likely the latency would feel annoying.

My wife has a 5k iMac, and we're thinking of just using Airplay (you can share monitors via AirPlay now, I'm not sure when Apple added that).

I tested it out the other day and it's relatively OK.

I have tried it and must say it just doesn’t work well enough. Too high latency, video calls are impossible and you regularly run into arbitrary issues. I ended up buying a standalone monitor again.
