Review: Needed to connect apple cinema display to dell laptop - We have just updated a work laptop from apple macbook to a dell laptop and I wanted to connect the 24in Apple Cinema display to this new dell laptop. This was a lot more complicated that I had expected since the apple cinema display uses mini display port and the dell laptop only had one VGA and three USB ports. So I looked into connecting it to the VGA port but that is very very complicated since VGA is an analog signal and the mini display port is a digital signal just buying a vga to mini display port connector is not enough you have to actually convert the signal which requires some very expensive signal processing hardware. So I read through the manual and two of the USB ports are actually USB 3.0 which can be used to connect a external monitor. So I found this StarTech USB 3.0 to DisplayPort adaptor then I bought the StarTech DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort adapter (DP2MDPMF6IN) which allowed me to plug in the mini display port plug from the Apple Cinema Display into. After following the directions and installing the included software everything works great! I didn't think this would work, apple and pc hardware don't usually play well together. The picture on the 24-in Apple Cinema Display looks Stunning! No lag or other issues, the only problem is I can't figure out how to turn down the brightness. After connecting the USB plug from the Apple Cinema Display I was able to get the built in iSight camera working and the built in speakers along with the apple keyboard that was plugged into the displays usb hub on the back. Honestly I was ready to buy a new Dell LED monitor but I am very happy I could get the old Apple Display to work with the Dell Laptop, it is just a much more beautifully made object and the color and clarity of the display is better than I could have hopped for!
Review: Works with Apple Cinema display 30” - Straight to the point here. It works. I’ve tried many adapters and cables to get my ACD 30” to work with modern PCs and Macs to no avail. This finally did the trick!! I use the official apple adapter DVI-D to mini DisplayPort. Then this adapter to plug into a full size DisplayPort. That’s it! It works, full resolution, 2560x1600. As a bonus a did try a DisplayPort to USB-C and that also worked with the ACD.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do they work with gtx 1080 and apple displays**
A: Actually I use this now with a Razer eGPU, gtx1080 and a 24" Apple Display (non thunderbolt) Works fine

**Q: I want to connect apple 30" cinema display to fullsize displayport on geforce card but the apple converter has mini displayport. will this work?**
A: I am currently using 2 of these to hook apple monitors to a nvidia card which has full size DisplayPorts. So yes.

**Q: Did not work for my Apple Cinema Display, think it is a daisy chaining issue. My Lenovo OneLink Pro dock pushed two normal DVI monitors. Any advice?**
A: It will not work with Apple Thunderbolt Display. MiniDisplayPort and Thunderbolt have the same physical form factor but the Thunderbolt Display is more than just a display since it uses the thunderbolt port to connect via PCIe a video card, USB ports and Ethernet card. Therefore when you connect the thunderbolt cable attached to the back of the Display, you're not connecting to the actual screen input port but to a board that has a video card that connects to the screen.

**Q: will it work for wacom mobile studio pro 13?**
A: Hi, Looking into the Wacom tablet, any DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter should work. So yes, the DP2MDPMF6IN will work in your setup.Thank you, NickStarTech.com Support

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets the job done
*by A***N on December 4, 2012*

I bought this adapter to connect the Apple Cinema Display to my hackintosh with Radeon 6850 video card. The build quality is superb, it has a locking mechanism with a push button on the top of the connector so it won't fall out if you accidentally pull the cable to hard (does happen with HDMI connectors). It is also very small and doesn't add to the cable clutter that may be going on behind your desktop. Picture quality is not affected in any way with the adaptor, not like it should as with any digital adaptors that either work perfectly or don't work at all. So, the point is, if you need to connect a Mini DisplayPort monitor to the older DisplayPort on your Mac or PC, this adaptor is the way to go.
