BENFEI USB C to DVI Adapter, Type-C to DVI Adapter [Thunderbolt 3 Compatible] for MacBook Pro 2018/2017, MacBook Air/iPad Pro 2018, Samsung Galaxy S10/S9, Surface Book 2 and More - Grey

These BENFEI USB-C to DVI adapters are exactly what I needed to connect my MacBook to an older monitor. They work flawlessly—just plug and play with no drivers required. The build quality is solid, and the connection is stable with no flickering or signal loss. I’ve tested them with both 2022 and 2021 MacBooks, and they perform consistently well. Great value for a 2-pack, especially if you need a backup or use multiple setups. Highly recommended for anyone needing a simple and effective USB-C to DVI solution!

Works great

My Mac mini 2018 has an HDMI port and 3 Thunderbolt / USB-C ports. Since purchase I had connected my 2006 Apple Cinema HD display, that uses a DVI connector, via a DVI to HDMI adaptor supplied by Apple. The weakness of this connector was that, at intervals and often when rebooting, the display would switch to stochastic grey snow with only a ghost of the Apple Logo or other content showing. The solution – deeply unnerving – was to pull the HDMI plug and reinsert it into the back of the Mac mini while the computer was booted. While it was working it was great, but when the HDMI connection failed it involved a risky procedure that could crash the computer and lose unsaved work.The BENFEI USB C to DVI Adapter, Type-C to DVI Adapter [Thunderbolt 3 Compatible] is a commendably good solution. and I haven't had to reboot the configuration once in relation to this connection. It is absolutely stable in use, with precise pixel display – the HDMI connection on reset often left a single pixel magenta stripe down the left hand side and some screen flutter for minutes after a reset of the DVI plug.The only criticism I can make of the Benefit connection is that on waking from an extended sleep, there is a millisecond or so pale graining of the screen, that disappears in that blink. It usually only happens at the start of the day and other moments when the screen is woken this doesn't recur. From my perspective this is a world of improvement. For somebody who comes straight to this set up, this might present some minor measure of disappointment with the Benfei connector. That would be a pity and unjustified in the context of the measure of the problem being resolved. I see this as a means of keeping a beautiful old screen in use long after the departure of its paired workhorse Mac Pro 1.1 from 2006.

Perfect: using a succession of (older) adapters (DVI to Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt to USB-C) couldn't connect my Cinema Display to a recent macMini. Bought this, and instant connection ..EXCELLENT! (Its silver colour also matches the silver body 2020 macMini!)Great price, perfect compatibility, plug it in and forget it! 5***** Item.

This is a well made, solid adapter. The colouring is one of the most accurate I've seen to the MacBook 'space grey' shell colour as well. The connections are fitted really well and nothing is loose. The only point against that is the right hand screw doesn't screw into the receiving end all the way so it does stick up. This doesn't impact the connection however.It connected up my MacBook Pro 2017 model to my now ancient 20" Cinema Display. It's been great to use it again, but disappointing as over the years the brightness has dimmed and when comparing to the MacBook screen it's pretty much unusable if like me you rely on needing to see accurate colours on the screen.So I just enjoy the nostalgia and use it as a spare screen to shunt windows and panels.

Works with 20" Apple Cinema Display and Macbook pro 2021 M1 Pro. And I'm very happy about that. I connected it to the DVI-D on the Cinema display. I plugged it into the mac and then I powered up the Mac. The mac is on battery power as opposed to mains power. The picture quality seems the same as my previous connection on Mid 2014 Macbook Pro which I used a DVI-D to mini displayport adapter with. I'm very happy I can use this monitor. I previously bought a mini display port to USB-C connector. That didn't work. I researched it and that connection will not work.If you want to use an older Apple 20" (Aluminium case) with a new Macbook pro 2021 M1 Pro 14", from my experience this connector works fine.

I have a 2003 Apple Cinema Display 20" screen with the clear plastic feet and frame. I really like the classic Mac design, and my screen is still in very good condition. As with all pre-Aluminium Apple screens from the 'plastic Mac' era, it has a special ADC connector. To make it work with USB-C, it requires both an ADC to DVI box (to power the monitor and pass through DVI and USB) and this DVI adapter. If you have the newer Aluminium Cinema Display, this adapter should be all you'll need.Most adapters I've used with this monitor in the past haven't worked successfully with this setup (I almost recycled the screen because of it). This one, by Benfei appears to be the only one I've found that works perfectly for a 1600 x 1050 display when connected to a 2019 Macbook Pro or a new 2020 Mac Mini M1 (directly from the USB-C port).

I bought this to connect my second screen to my laptop, which it shows it does in the product pictures. But when I connect the connection is obviously not great as my screen constantly strobes, this is unusable

This adapter connected a 2026 MacBook Pro M5 to a 2005 20" Apple Cinema Display. It works perfectly. No issues.

Jag baserade mitt köp på recensionerna här och YES! Tusen tack till er som har också köpt/testat och skrivit sedan här..Benfei fungerar ypperligt hos mig. Jag kopplade ihop min gamla skärm som är ACD 20" (aluminium modell) med MacBook Pro late 2018 15" och har egentligen två skärmar kopplade. Min stora 34" curved LG som är kopplad med HDMI till en 12 South USB-hub och denna tar upp en port på laptopen. ACD 20" koppla alltså direkt till datorn. De ser varandra och jag hanterar appfönster utan problem.

Perfecto. Funciona con mi pantalla antigua.

Ideal pour rendre vie à un apple cinema display de 24" vers un macbook air M3 usbc dans sa résolution native 1920 X 1200.Attention ne fonctionne pas avec le apple cinema display de 30"

Works connecting two older Apple Cinema Display (2 adapters) to Mac MINI M4, better than the HDMI adaptors I tried
