<p>The 5K iMac features a great display (https://9to5mac.com/2017/08/01/review-entry-level-mid-2017-5k-imac-great-deal-ram-upgrade-thunderbolt-3-egpu-baby-lake-video/), but it comes with no built in input options for connecting external media sources like gaming consoles. Yet, there is a way to play gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch (http://amzn.to/2gN6YKl) and PS4 on the iMac’s display. By wielding the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S (http://amzn.to/2rmd5Jw) external capture device, it’s easy to direct video output from you favorite gaming console to your iMac’s display.</p>
<p>Normally thought of for its capturing abilities, the HD60 S, is headlined by its superior low-latency properties. The low latency makes the HD60 S an ideal solution for displaying the Nintendo Switch in full screen at up to 1080p at 60 fps. It’s not perfect, and at over $150 it’s definitely not cheap, but it’s the best solution that I’ve found for using the iMac as an external display. Watch our hands-on video walkthrough for an explanation.</p>
