 This article explains how to use an old iMac made between late 2009 and 2013 as a display for another Apple device. If you have an old iMac with Target Display Mode, your Mac mini or another Mac can make use of your old 27-inch iMac as a display.

The 27-inch iMacs introduced in late 2009 included the first version of Target Display Mode, a feature that allowed iMacs to be used as displays for other Apple devices. However, by the time Apple released the 2014-2015 Retina Display iMacs, they no longer supported the feature.
