Do you know how to attach a Thunderbolt 27inch Cinema Display - I'm having a hard time connecting it. It works with the thunderbolt 2 to usb-c adapter that apple sells however the when I closed my M1 Max 16inch MacBook Pro the monitor goes black..... The monitor can't used the power cable since it has magsafe 1 but I have the converter attached to MagSafe 2 which works perfect with my 15inch MBP 2015. Any help will be great!!!

Oh my goodness! I had two 32 inch Apple Cinema displays for the longest time! What a design!!! Then I moved on to two LG 5K Untrafines. Those are lovely!!! Then I sold those and now use an LG OLED. Yes, I finally went OLED. The best part of Apple’s design, gosh, the one cord, the fact that the bezels actually sit about 1mm off the glass and that space all around the screen was their cooling. Perhaps Steve Jobs would roll in his grave when he saw the massive cheese grater they have now in the XDR!!!

I had one of these for MacBook 4,1 back in the day, I'm now on an M1 Mini and I am thinking about getting a 30 inch Cinema display would you recommend?

Nice! I also have vintage displays, but are quite happy with them for photo editing and general use! Eizo ColorEdge CG243W (2009) and ColorEdge CG221 (2006). They match in height and fit just right on my desk. Monitor hoods are great too!

Hello. after an hour on tphone to apple support I still couldn't get this to work. I have very similar equipment though (macbook pro 2020 model and 30inch Cinema Display though I can't get it to work. Note: I have a USB Type C Male to DVI-I female adapter noting the Cinema Display has a DVI - D connector. Even though it still physically fits could this be a problem? Being DVI-D as opposed to DVI - I? (I have been able to see the apple logo and loading bar on start up) though only thing i've been able to see on the screen. HELP!

I have one too, it’s connected to MacBook pro 16” and I enjoy it very well anymore

Hi, Mark, I was able to pair my 24" Apple Cinema Display with my new M3 MacBook Pro. It works fine as a display, but the camera doesn't work. It does pair with my iPhone, but that becomes a tricky balancing act and it does not do so consistently. When I called Apple, they told me the display is not compatible with the MacBook. I know that is at least partly untrue. Is there a workaround for the camera? Many thanks.

Will this work with the A1082 Apple Cinema Display?

A vintage monitor on a vintage lenses channel: this is what I call consistency :-) Speaking of the new monitor, it depends on your budget. For my secondary workstation I bought a Dell Ultra Thin 2719DC, it does the job and doesn't cost too much. For what will be my primary location (soon I will move to another town and go to a new studio) I am checking out the ProArt series by Asus, the opinions I have heard so far have all been positive. Then of course there are valid models produced by Dell, LG, and of course Eizo. Lately, there are MSI monitors who are going strong, but personally, I am not thrilled, too. However, on Jonny Elwyn's blog there is a rather interesting article that talks about monitors, it might be useful to you.

Not sure if you can accurately match two screens, although there are some optical tools that you can buy to set that.

How do I know if my Cinema Display (30") supports DHCP ? There are two types of adapters, the old school and the 'active' Apple have made (most) 30" displays 'silently' DHCP capable - these are the ones build after march 28th 2006. Anyone? The serial-number is CY63212AUG1 Apple's website thinks it is an iPhone 3G. It looks like August is in the name (which, if true, does not help either). Option 2 is to check the other added hardware functions- these are contrast ratio upped from 400:1 to 700:1 and the brightness upped from 270 cd/m2 to 400 cd/m2 Please do share your knowledge, it would help me out a lot for getting the correct adapter (and I am sure it is a really fun fact for anyone with a 30" cinema display).
