Mini Display port to Thunderbolt 3
Posted by Scott Witthaus on May 10, 2018 at 1:16 pmHey all –
I have a Apple Cinema display that uses the mini display connector. With my new MBP, I am looking for a way to convert the mini-display to T3. A T2 to T3 adapter does not work. Thanks in advance.

May 11, 2018 at 12:55 pmThanks. Saw that and have looked at some converters online with many comments saying they don’t work at all. Was hoping to hear from someone who has done it. Thanks again.

May 13, 2018 at 11:27 amIsn’t that a Thunderbolt Display? In other words you can loop thunderbolt through it. So you would need to connect it with a thunderbolt cable, not a mdp cable. i have a TB2 LG display connected to a MBPro. I just use a TB3 to TB2 single off the MBPro, or off the OWC TB3 dock.
