    5.0 out of 5 stars Needed to connect apple cinema display to dell laptop
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014
    Size: 6in (15cm)Verified Purchase
    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!

    Size: 6in (15cm)Verified Purchase
    we needed to set up a PC laptop to connect video out to a 52" flatscreen that was already setup for video out from a macbook. we did not want to get an entirely new cord and take down the 52” monitor, so, we thought up a connector we needed and started a search on Amazon… and, voilà!, Amazon had it and saved the day! :-)
    with this pc adapter and an existing macbook Mini DP to HDMI cord connected to your monitor, you simply connect the Mini DP female end to a Mini DP male end (which fits in Mini DP/macbook video out) and the other end into the video out of the PC laptop...
    now, have PC laptop video displayed on the big screen for a mere incremental of $6.26! sweet! :-)
    i thought it was a dream that i would find such an adapter and simple solution for hard wire displaying both mac and pc video to the big screen! however, here it is and we are so pleased that such a nifty, inexpensive adapter existed.

    • . in summary, if you are a dual pc/mac household, then you are in business if you just get this adapter along with a Mini DP Male to HDMI Male connector. We have used the following cable connector for years to display video from a macbook on the 52" monitor with no issues; HDE 10ft. Mini Display Port / Mini DP Male to HDMI Male HD Cable Gold Plated Apple MacBook to HDTV Monitor Adapter ... then, when you want to display a pc laptop, instead of the macbook, just add this nifty adapter… and, you are all set! :-)

    a MUST-HAVE for both pc and mac households needing to hard connect video to a large monitor! :-)
    very, very pleased! ...Thank you. :-)!

    The product is simple and easy to use. It's wonderful, and it allowed me to connect a 24-inch Apple Cinema Display to a Lenovo All-in-one desktop computer that has DisplayPort out.
    When I first plugged the monitor using the adapter I noticed right away that the screen would flicker. After a few minutes the screen would freeze into a distorted image, and I would need to unplug the monitor and plug it back in to fix the issue. Obviously this was annoying (and heart-breaking) and after some quick research online I found that 24-inch Cinema Displays were issued a firmware update for the exact same problem I was experiencing but in Macs that use the new thunderbolt port that is backwards compatible with Mini DisplayPort. The only problem was that in order to install the firmware update on the monitor it must be connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac, otherwise the installer will not run. I was able to borrow a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac and applied the firmware update. After I did it, I connected it again to the Lenovo computer using the StarTech adapter, and the flickering was GONE! The freezing issue was also resolved. Now I'm happily writing this review on the Cinema Display.

    So in short, yes, absolutely worth every penny.

    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.

    Owned a 2008 Mac Pro for several years along with this 27" LED Cinema Display from Apple. Recently built a PC for the first time and thought I'd be putting this Apple display away for good as it can't directly connect to most modern graphics cards. Quickly found this adapter and it worked straight away like a charm. No hassle. Nothing to install. Just adapt and play away! Recommend downloading the brightness controller that a person made for displays like these on windows, otherwise the monitor will be rather dim when you initially plug it in (still usable).
