@coyote23b 8 месяцев назад

I still use my Apple Thunderbolt Displays. Was considering upgrading but after I looked at the new Studio Display it's not that much better to justify spending $1600. Even as a video editor and color grading. It would add more screen real-estate and brightness, but for video color correcting and sharpness, it's really not as big of a difference as I thought it would be. I plan on keeping what I have longer, maybe upgrade if Apple makes a 32' Studio Display or an HDR 120Hz display. If you already have one, I don't think it's really worth upgrading unless you really need it.

@rt9648 5 месяцев назад

I use this 27" Thunderbolt display along with it's predecessor, the 27" LED Cinema display on an M2 Pro Mac Mini. I installed Monitor Control, but after that, everything works without ever having to open up that app. In fact, to write this comment, I had to search for it to see if I even had it. Keyboard works to control both brightness and volume. They look great!

@StudioCicada Год назад

I'm using my 2010 24" Apple Cinema Display (mini display port connection not Thunderbolt) with my 2020 MBP M1 13". I connect both to an OWC Thunderbolt dock. The 24" Apple Cinema Display connects via a mini display port to USB-C adapter--which I purchased for about $14. I purchased the 24" Apple Cinema Display in 2010 for around $600 and it's still going strong. Couldn't be happier.

@transitengineer 6 месяцев назад

I agree with you 100 percent. I own the larger 2010, 27-inch Cinema (none thunderbolt) Display and it has been working great for about 12-years. A couple of years ago wanted to buy a M-1 "Mac Studio" and made an appointment at my local Apple retail store to learn how to connect my display. I carried the 27-inch Cinema Display into the store and none of the Apple employees knew how to make it work with a "Mac Studio". Learned weeks later on RU-vid that, all I needed was just like you stated a mini display port to USB "C" adapter which, I now have. But, Apple, Inc. lost the sell of a new "Mac Studio" (smile...smile).

Only thing required is the Apple Thunderbolt 2 to 3 (USB C) adapter, which you show. I bought this display of course used last year on FB Marketplace. Not one scratch on it. After a month bought another one, an extra in case something happens to it (as insurance). For potential buyers, marks rub off with a cloth that is wet very lightly. I learnt about cleaning this display on another RU-vid video here.

@adnanshaben8889 Год назад

I have 2 of these using a MacBook Air M1 and they are fantastic. I have dual display setup and clamshell my M1. Since the M1 doesn't support dual display, I got a Dell D6000 docking station with display link (you need the display link software) and One of the monitors is thunderbolt and the other has mini display port which is converted to HDMI and connects to the Dell docking station, the specs are the same it's just the connector that differs. All controls work and having the camera built in is a big bonus as well as a wireless keyboard and track pad give me a clean set up. I just disconnect the 2 USB-C's when I travel and off I go, when reconnected everything starts right back up (the second display takes a few seconds to be recognized).

@prad8921 Год назад

Using a Thunderbolt Display with a 2021 M1 MBP and just can't bring myself to replace it. Still looks great and works like a champ. The TBDs were built like tanks. If you NEED 4K/5K then by all means do that, but if you're using a computer for general office tasks (email, Web, word processing, etc) then 2K is plenty good. You can rock two 27" TBDs side-by-side for less than half the cost of a single Studio Display... and it's still Apple... and it still looks good in 2023.

I bought my TB Display a couple years ago. It was a late production like-new and in the box for about $220usd. Used it with my MBP 15” 2015 and now with a MBP 14” M1 with the TB 2-3 adapter. With the M1 all the display settings and MacOS work perfectly. Positives; an APPLE design which is still beautiful and modern looking, superb build quality all metal and glass, very good sounding build-in speakers and the webcam is ‘good enough,’ legacy ports are actually useful for me with older accessories (and the MBP M1 has enough USB-c ports), even an Ethernet port, so with the one display to computer cable makes it clean in use. The display itself is still a high contrast with excellent color. Wish it was brighter in a daylight room, and the reflections are there, but in a dimmer light or at night it really looks great. At 2K or 1440p it is not the sharpest and if looking the individual pix can be noticed, but at normal view distance not so much so, it is sharp enough. No height adjustment, so a stand or just something under it, the angle adjustment is enough. For the price, build and view quality, it still is a very good option.

@transitengineer 6 месяцев назад

I agree 100 percent. I own the model right before this one, an Apple 2010 27-inch Cinema LED (none thunderbolt) display. The only thing with this monitor is that, it connects using Apple's mini display port and to control brightness and volume, you also need an open USB "A" port (smile...smile).

@pedroavila1584 8 месяцев назад

what mac do you have? I also have this setup with an intel MBP and I'm considering getting a M2 MBA but if only one would work that'd be a deal breaker for me

@BoboMedia007 8 месяцев назад

Mac book pro m1, I should work with the m2 line up I would think

If you plan to build a dual monitor setup with old Thunderbolt displays, you should take into account that the devices almost all have different brightness levels due to their age. Over the last few years I've had about 7 Thunderbolt displays and the brightness has been between 3,900 (almost yellow image) and 5,900 (pretty good white) lux. Apparently the displays burn out over the years depending on how heavily they're used. I measured 6,500 lux during the iMac 5K DIY monitor conversion.

Bro actually i am considering. That’s why i searched this. And i have apple silicon Mac Studio. I know it’s a dumb idea but i’d like to give it a shot.

Hi there. I have a mid 2012 macbook pro and a Thunderbolt Display A1407 I got used from Craigslist. It's in beautiful shape, but . . . it won't power on. It did at first but after not using it for several months I tried to use it and nothing. Dead. Black. Any wisdom? Both are surely outdated as far as getting help from a Genius Bar. I just need a genius comment to save the day for me. thanks in advance.

Yesterday I bought a 2020 MacMini with the M1 chip. I found a great deal on the Thunderbolt display, circa 2013, I had Apple look up the serial number. But the tech support people told me that this monitor is not compatible with the MacMini with the M1 chip. It had to be a 2019 or earlier. I found two videos that talked about a Cable Matter HDMI to Display port adapter, but in reference to using two monitors with the Mac Mini. Your solution is much simpler. But they warned of voltage output in the two monitor solution and the Cable Matters adapter solving that. Do you think the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 will work with the MacMini M1. Its a much more elegant solution and I agree with you about having it be an Apple product vs a more modern different brand. Thanks

This is precisely the setup I'm using (M1 mini, Thunderbolt display, T3-T2 adapter), and it works perfectly: it's exactly as if I were sitting in front of my old 2012 iMac 27" (but of course, SO much faster!). I'm afraid your tech support people are very wrong in this case!

I was about to upgrade to a studio monitor but you changed my mind. I’ll just keep my old 27 apple cinema display

@deanojacks 9 месяцев назад

Are you trying to connect the 27 LED Cinema Display to the Mac Studio? Have you been successful? Please share your experience.

@nickolassberna2647 3 месяца назад

you just need the correct adapter (the one from apple many others won't work) and the screen will work perfect with any modern Mac @@deanojacks

Has anyone found a way to connect this display to HDMI? I love my old monitor but the new MacBooks removed one of the valuable USB C ports and replaced it with HDMI, which I rarely use. I hate having to swap drives in and out all day, so if anyone has come across this and found a solve, I'd love to hear it

I’m looking for one to connect with 2017 iMac and I already have my dongle.

It still worth it

@meghomes 11 месяцев назад

Came across this because my 2012 display appears to have died on me, I can attest that it does (or did lol) work pretty seamlessly with the 2021 macbook pro. I just upgraded macboook late last year, but wasn't ready to drop $1500 on a new display. It works as long as it's connected to power. As I was watching, I was like oh, funny... I have a flexispot desk... and then a few minutes later, oh look.... Vegas. 😜 Know anyone local that can tell me if it's repairable?

Using iMac late 2013 as a display for Macbook late 2013 with flickering screen with thunderbolt cable is not working for me.

@yannd.8703 Год назад

Hello, I have a 2013 Macbook Air (no USB-C port). How do you adjust the brightness of the Apple cinema display screen because I did not find this function.

@garthswift6451 Год назад

You should be able to go to Settings: Displays: then two windows should pop up, one for the Cinema Display and one for your Mac. You can adjust brightness from there.

@tunintunin3417 Год назад

So one does not need a brick to power it, it can be powered through the thunderbolt adapter.

@sethhubbard698 Год назад

I have one of these and am trying to figure out how capable the thunderbolt 2 port on the back of it is (IE could I daisy chain another Thunderbolt Display through it without needing to take up a port on my computer.)

@Hektormydog 7 месяцев назад

With 2 TB displays, just get a TB2 cable and plug into the TB2 ports on the backs of the displays

@wilmarsoaki1831 Год назад

Many people criticize Apple for its high prices, but delivering products that are ahead of their time is a big payoff. I have a mid 2011 iMac 27” which probably uses a similar monitor and has excellent quality

@DengueBurger 10 месяцев назад

I got my Thunderbolt Display for $17 because I saved on shipping by driving to the place that had it 2 hours away! Works perfectly with my upgraded Mac mini 2012, except the audio is trash lol.

@DengueBurger 10 месяцев назад

For reference that cost me $20 in gas on my Toyota Corolla, not to mention the time and risk of driving, but hey if you have a bit of free time, definitely worth it.

@danielmcphillips8334 Год назад

I have 2 of those monitors but I have a Microsoft surface book 2 how do I get display to work please helppppp

@perezident14 Год назад

Anyone use this for coding? How is it?

@jesussaves7321 Год назад

Can you use this monitor with an m1 Mac in clamshell mode?

@howardc1964 Год назад

yes, thats how I use it all the time. Set displays in mirror mode so when plugged in or not, get a single desktop - 2 different resolutions of course so if you got a bunch of windows spreadout of the QHD resolution TB2 Display and unplug it and use macbook screen, windows will be all packed together of course...

@simonebaggetto7233 Год назад

Does this work with a macbook air with M2 chip using ventura 13? I can't figure it out!

@nickolassberna2647 3 месяца назад

if you get the adapter from apple it will work with any Mac

@rubencardenas5219 Год назад

Hello, and what if i have 2 Thunderbolt Display and i want to connected to my M1 Mac book pro 13 '' 2020 which only have 2 ports? any solution ?

@Ossescher Год назад

This macbook does only support 1 external screen, unles you do a crazy workaround but there is no native MacOS support on M1 mac's

@Travisharger Год назад

I can’t get mine to turn on with my 16” MacBookPro (m1max). Any ideas?

@Pogey_Bait Год назад

I have a 13' M1 Macbook Air and have the same issue. My wife can use the montior on her 2011 Macbook air fine though. Oddly enough a 2006 Apple Cinema Display DOES turn on with my M1 Macbook air, but not the Thunderbolt Display. I have all the correct adapters too.

@mikegewalt4122 Год назад

I would totally use one of those displays because I remember it when those came out those were Untouchable for people that were poor like myself and still today I'm poor so if anybody would love to send me a screen of such precedence I would love it LOL. I still appreciate your video from a few months ago talking about getting the Apple iPhone 11 and I would love to find one of those too but those are really hard to find because just like your video said they're Bulletproof and very reliable why would you change it's one of those Niche things that just become just that untouchable. Thank you brother for all your good videos
