My testing shows three affordable and viable options, plus a reasonable option for a full-featured USB-C dock that requires just a simple adapter.Īpple made multiple generations of its displays: the first used DVI (in single-link and dual-link flavors) the second, Mini DisplayPort the third, Thunderbolt 2. I purchased an AmazonBasics miniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter and I am getting 1920x 1080 as my max resolution.
I am attempting to use an external display with my Dell U2715Q (has 4k capabilities). I purchased several adapters and cables that can take the LED Cinema Display’s Mini DisplayPort (not Thunderbolt) and convert it into something that passes over USB-C in a compatible chain that allows you to connect to a USB-C equipped MacBook. I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.4. Apple rarely releases sales figures on particular models of products they offer, but I have to imagine they shipped at least hundreds of thousands of its two Apple LED Cinema Displays ( 24-inch, 2008 to 2010, and 27-inch, 2010 to 2013) based on the number of people who have reached out and want to connect them to a USB-C equipped MacBook.
