Apple Studio Display A1267 mini-display port to usb c

Wanting to find an adaptor that will allow this monitor to be used with modern devices that had a usb-c connector. Including non Apple products, anyone have success with this?

Does your display have 3-pongs cable (1 is mini-display, 1 is USB 2.0 plus 1 MagSafe charging cable)?


If you just need "display" and would NOT need the speakers/camera --

Here is a cable "Mini-display to USB-C" adapter.


If you want the speakers/iSight camera to work as well - then you will need to connect the USB 2.0 cable to devices (Apple Mac preferable).


Now the tricky part:

The old Macs OS did have "Boot Camp" - which did carry Microsoft drivers (needed to be downloaded) for these old monitors (Cinema displays and Thunderbolt Displays) -- you have to search a bit to find those drivers in order to make it work under "other non-Mac" operation systems. FWIW, I would not recommend to spend much time on making it work with Windows system. Stick with MacOS - it is simpler.


If you still incline so, there is also 1 device (not adapter) OWC TB3 dock, which has Mini-Display port and few USB-A port.


Best
