This works, but its slugish - I will probably swap for a proper cable soon. Anyway, I'd love to hook up my PC to this so that both computers can share all 4 monitors as an extended desktop. How did you connect your PC?
You can plug in a PC to an iMac to use as an external monitor if your PC video card or motherboard has a mDP output. Then target display mode should come up on boot.

(Adapters might work, but I'm not 100%)
Oh, and the iMac should be around 2013 model or newer for the mDP ports..
