Actually yes you can. This article states it right at the very top of the article. 'With Target Display mode, you can use your iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) or iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) with Mac OS X as an external display.

Connect any computer or other device with a Mini DisplayPort to your 27-inch iMac using a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable or using a converter that converts other electrical, video, and audio protocols from another source device to Mini DisplayPort compliant signals.

Taken from this tech write up: There are lots of videos on youtube showing people using the mini display to hdmi converters for hooking up their imac for dual monitors, xbox, pc's, etc.
This company sells them and has an instructional video worth watching. Hey MCX2012, Did you try thunderbolt to thunderbolt?
Based on what I've found online, it was possible to use the late 2009 and mid 2010 iMacs as external displays for PC's if the PC and Mac were connected via mini displayport. The connection couldn't be made if the video signal was converted to mini displayport from another interface, like HDMI or DVI.
But if the PC had an actual mini displayport output on its video card, then the iMac could be used as a Target Display. However, it seems that the newer iMacs with thunderbolt support don't allow for this. Apple's website states that another Mac can be connected to the iMac's display via thunderbolt (and only thunderbolt; not mini displayport), but makes no mention of a PC being able to do the same. Some posts by other users claim that this should be possible, but I'm not hopeful because I haven't read any success stories. This is aggravating. I want to buy the new iMac and be able to switch between that computer and a PC, which I'm using as a 3D render machine. Apple Footer.

Hello All, After recently buying a Neewer NW-700 and setting it up, I plugged it into my what I believe to be a 2012 or 2013 model of the Mac Book Pro, only to see that it was received as headphones and under the output tab of my sound preferences. I don't believe there is anything wrong with the mic as I had also bought and hooked up a phantom power source. After running the cables through the power source I plugged my TRS plug into an additional FosPower TRS to TRRS adapter, knowing that macs don't accept TRS audio jacks. And then after all that, I plugged that adapter into my computer which accepted it as a headphone rather than a microphone. I do have a theory, that the FosPower Adapter only converts input signals and that the computer then thought of it as a headphone. What do you think? Here are some pictures to help.
The Mic The Phantom Power Adapter Prior to Plug in After Adapter was plugged in Thanks for your help, G. Hi garretthelp, I understand you are having trouble getting your Neewer NW-700 microphone to be recognized as an input device on your MacBook Pro. If the FosPower TRS to TRRS adapter is not working for you, have you tried using an audio interface with standard XLR connections for your audio setup?
What application are you using on your Mac? Whatever settings you use in the Mac's System Preferences would also need to be made in the application's audio preferences as well.
I'll include the information for GarageBand below for your reference. I found the for your product, and input the SKU for the microphone into the Support page, but they do not have a manual available at this time.
So, if using a standard audio interface does not resolve the issue, you will need to contact Neewer for more information. You can connect a microphone to your computer to record your voice, an acoustic instrument, or any other sound to an audio track in GarageBand. You can connect a microphone to your computer’s audio input port, a USB port, or, for better audio quality, an audio interface connected to a FireWire or USB port on your computer. You can also use your computer’s built-in microphone to record sound.
After you connect a microphone, you choose the input source for the track you want to record in, and optionally turn on monitoring. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project. Connect a microphone to your computer Do one of the following:.
If you’re using your computer’s built-in microphone, choose Built-in Microphone as the input source in GarageBand Preferences Audio Devices. Connect the microphone to your computer’s audio input port (if it has one), then choose Built-in Input as the track’s input source.
Connect a USB microphone to a USB port on your computer. Choose the USB microphone as the track’s input source.
Connect an audio interface to a USB or FireWire port, then connect a microphone to the audio interface for recording. Connect an audio mixer or console to an audio interface connected to your computer. Set the input source for a microphone. Select the audio track. Click the Smart Controls button to open the Smart Controls pane, then click the Inspector button. In the Recording Settings section, choose one of the following from the Input pop-up menu:.
If you’re using your computer’s built-in microphone, choose Built-in Microphone. If you’re using a microphone connected to your computer’s audio input port, choose Built-in Input. If Built-in Input doesn’t appear in the menu, choose GarageBand Preferences, click Audio/MIDI, and choose Built-in Input from the Audio Input pop-up menu. If you’re using a microphone connected to a USB port, choose the microphone.
If you’re using a microphone connected to an audio interface, choose the channel number for the microphone. If the audio interface channels don’t appear in the menu, choose GarageBand Preferences, click Audio/MIDI, then choose the audio interface from the Audio Input pop-up menu. Make sure the format matches the microphone or instrument. Choose a mono input for monophonic instruments (with a single channel), and choose a stereo input for stereo instruments (with a pair of channels). Drag the Recording Level slider to change the input volume level for the sound source. If the Recording Level slider is dimmed, you can’t change the input volume in GarageBand. In this case, use the device’s own volume control.

It appears that we need to replace the phantom power source with an audio interface (that comes with its own phantom power supply).
Neewer customer service just called me saying that they're microphones aren't compatible with Macs. Others have got it to work so I'm going to invest in a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to replace the Neewer Phantom Power supply. So instead of it plugging into the microphone jack, the microphone (I have a NW-800) will go to the audio interface, which then connects to my MBP via USB. Apple Footer.
