Can I use my late 2014 27" retina 5k iMac as a monitor for a 2022. iMac mini?

I have a late-2014 iMac 27" Retina 5K. The computer is past the point of being able to manage th latest MacOS, but the monitor appears to be fine. Can I use it as a monitor with an iMac mini, or am I better off getting the there new 27" Studio display?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

Sell it, trade it, or donate it to a group that needs a computer or give it the children or relatives and buy a new, separate display.


Besides the fact that it cannot work as a monitor, it would draw much more power than modern external displays there by being energy wasteful.
