USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter, USB 3.1 Type C (Thunderbolt 3) to Mini DP Adapter 4K Compatible with Lenovo T470, MacBook Pro to LED Cinema Display/Dell Monitor, etc - Silver

This product works as expected! I had initially tried another similar adapter*, but it didn't work, and only gave a black screen. My screen is an "Achieva Shimian QH270 27" LED 2560x1440 QHD S-IPS PC Monitor" which is a cheap replacement for the Apple Cinema Display (same display, different wrapping). Since others had reported success using this Amikoro adapter with Apple Cinema Display, I hoped that it would work for me as well. And it did! Just plug-and-play. :D Bad thing with the Shimian monitor is that it only has a DVI-D port. I needed two other adapters for this setup to work. "Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI-D", and "Satechi Type-C multi-port adapter 4K with ethernet V2" which gives a regular USB port. I also had a DVI-D to DVI-D cable too (a DVI-I cable could work as well, but not DVI-A). This is how I connected them all successfully: 1. Amikoro USB-C to Mini Displayport -> Mini Displayport chord of the "Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI-D" 2. Satechi USB-C to USB 2.0 -> USB 2.0 chord of the "Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI-D" 3. Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI-D -> DVI-D cable -> Shimian monitor Notice that this setup uses two USB-C ports on the Macbook. Luckily, I can use the additional USB-C exit on the Satechi adapter to connect the Macbook's USB-C power chord. The Satechi adapter doesn't allow the Amikoro adapter to be plugged into its USB-C exit port (since it probably doesn't pass through the DisplayPort Alternate Mode signal), but you can use that USB-C exit port on the Satechi adapter for power instead. So it's all good! Links to the other adapters used together with the Amikoro adapter: "Satechi Type-C multi-port adapter 4K with ethernet V2" is what it is called on the Satechi home page.

Did not work as advertised with : "AppleCinema Display, such as 24-inch(MB382LL/A), 27-inch(MC007LL/A), 30-inch(M9179LL/A, need an official AppleMini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter" Tried 2 different ones.

Great product

When my LCD on my almost-new MPB was destroyed by a cat biting the corner of the display (yes, seriously), I panicked. It seemed the processor was working fine, but the display went completely black. (Apple won't cover it, though it was just over a month old.) I went to the Apple store and wasted $52 on a cable that they said would work - but while it LOOKED just like the mini displayport, it did not work with it. I thought it was a lost cause to have it work with my 2018 MBP at all until I ordered this cable. I plugged it in (nothing else, no extra cables) and boom, instant glorious display! While this is an older display (from 2010), it challenges most of the very expensive new ones. I'd forgotten how crisp everything could be.

I bought the same mini display cable after reading the reviews. It works on my 30" ACD on Mac Mini 2018 using the Dual-Link DVI Adapter. One thing I found odd is that the monitor used to shut down the power when I turned off my old Mac pro. Now the monitor doesn't shut down after I turn off the Mini. Is this normal? or did I connect it wrong?

It worked initially (as long as each of the three connections was plugged in in exactly the right order every time the computer was shut down). The cable then gradually became unreliable and stopped working all together. Display would intermittently become shaky, with static on the screen. Now it won't connect at all. I've purchased a new one from a different brand. I was using it to connect a 2018 Macbook Pro to an old (maybe 2012) imac with build in display to use it as a external monitor in target display mode. EDIT - Seller contacted me and offered both a replacement and refund. I accepted the refund, but not the replacement since i had already bought another cable. Seller has good customer service and stands by their product.

Used to add external monitor to MacBook Air.used to connect Apple Thunderbolt Display to MacBook Air

I purchased this last Sept to connect my new Apple laptop to my backup hard drive. It didn't work, and I was too busy to troubleshoot the problem at the time. I eventually tried using another connector, which did work. I realized conclusively that the problem was with the Amiroko USB-C adaptor. Unfortunately, by the time I figured it out, it was too late to return it for a refund.
