Use a cable for the best picture.
Encore also works over Wi‑Fi, but the picture is always lower quality, especially if you’re not on 5 GHz. To use your iMac as a monitor, always connect it with a cable. The keyboard and mouse only work over a cable. Using the iMac’s camera and microphone is coming soon.
