Yeah, it's a pity that TB2 cables and a TB3-TB2 adapter are still that expensive.

Considering the age of that stuff, one would usually expect that to be very cheap.

Use an (old) iMac as an external display for an Apple Silicon Mac — free, no dongle, via Thunderbolt Bridge.

Apple dropped "Target Display Mode" in 2014 with the 5K iMac — and it never came back.

TargetBridge brings it back via software, streaming your screen to the iMac at up to 5K over a direct Thunderbolt cable.

Since v2.0.0, you can now even connect multiple iMacs to get multiple gorgeous 5K displays!
