Does not support Apple Cinema DVI monitor

I recently upgraded my MacBookPro to a newer 2019 model with four USB Type-C ports. My old MacBookPro had a MiniDisplay port on which I ran the Apple Cinema HD 23 monitor with inch DVI using the Apple DVI-to-MiniDisplay Adapter. I assumed the Apple MiniDisplay to USB Type-C adapter would work with the new MBPro. So I tried CableCreation's USB Type-C to DVI adapter, which claims to be compatible with MBPro 2019. It did not work. I then tried the Benfei USB Type-C to DVI adapter, which claims to be compatible with the new MBPro as well, but that didn't work. Then I tried the UPTab USB Type C to MiniDisplay Adapter, thinking it would work with my Apple DVI to MiniDisplay Adapter, but it didn't. HDCP Adapter Off". IT WORKS! Find it here: https://www.amazon.com/CAC-1510-Adapter-Displays-3840x2160-2560x1600/dp/B08B7FSVTL/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Club+ 3D+CAC-1510&qid=1615575897&sr=8-3 Please note that Club makes two models, one with "HDCP Off" which supports Apple Cinema Monitor and one with HDCP DCP On model supports Apple Cinema doesn't Thanks Revain for the free return offer for units making false support claims It's worth noting that Apple does not provide an adapter to support their older, fully functional DVI monitors.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Easily repairable
