Review on πŸ’» Benfei USB Type C (Thunderbolt 3) to DVI Adapter - Compatible with Apple New MacBook [2015, 2016, 2017] by Jeremy Flint

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not compatible with the new 2019 iMac.

I bought this adapter to connect an old Dell 2407WP monitor to a new 2019 27" iMac. The new 2019 iMacs are not compatible with Displayport adapters and only have USB-C Connections My 2007 Dell monitor works great with everything down to a Mac Pro and a 2018 MacBook Pro, but spent 1 1/2 hours on an Apple enabled phone and another 1 1/2 hours at the Apple Store and we were able to do that didn't get adapter for iMac 2019. Nobody can figure out why, but they tested it with a 27" machine and a 21" machine - nothing. At first they tried to tell me that it didn't work because there was no Apple product but Apple discontinued the DVI adapters so I had no choice but to buy this one from Revain and then they hooked it up to a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro they had in the store and everything fun worked flawlessly. So if you're not using it with the latest 2019 iMac desktops, that should be fine.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Something different
