The monitor is only about 2 months old give or take. If I need to get a strictly DVI cable I can do that, but would like to know if that's likely my problem before I buy it.

Could this cord issue be why my monitor claims no signal no matter what I do?Īlso, when I looked for drivers and click the link in the post above, it downloads a folder for drivers, however, I dont' know what to do with the files in that folder (2251w.cat, 2251w.icm and 2251w.INF). Right now I have the VGA cable with the DVI apple adapter then plugged into the DVI to Thunderbolt adapter.

Mac Pro Memory for Model 3.1: Mac Pro Early 2008 8 Slots DDR2-800Mhz The Mac Pro DDR2 series (800Mhz) uses a type of memory called an FB-DIMM.

However, the monitor when I got it only came with the old school VGA cord, not a DVI, thank goodness I finally had a use for the one that must have originally come with the previous laptop, and that worked just fine. The DDR3-1066 DIMMs for the Mac Pro require a Thermal Sensor for full performance and compatibility.

I got the mini dv adapter as I saw it didn't have the DVI port I'm used to seeing. It worked fine with my old laptop (mid 2007). Wait a couple of weeks for when pallets of these may have arrived at American distributors, making them immediately available.I just got my new MacBook 15 the other day and today decided to set it up wiht my AOC E2251Swdn monitor. However, every version I can find ships directly from China via Amazon and other sites and the arrival date is late December to mid-January. Several companies are also already making USB-C to Mini DisplayPort direct adapters that one reader reported to me worked great with his Cinema Display and a new MacBook Pro. (You can buy the same or variants from other companies on Amazon, but will pay about $10 more, even with free shipping.)

He purchased three Monoprice products that cost him under $30 including shipping: the Select Series USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter ($12.74), a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable (3 feet, $4.24 longer versions available), and the Mini DisplayPort Coupler (Female to Female) Straight Type ($3.52).

One reader, Adam Miller, assembled a minor Frankenstein’s monster cable of a solution that he says works with his MacBook Pro! He used a USB-C to full-sized DisplayPort adapter, plugged in a standard DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort Cable, plugged that into a Mini DisplayPort female-to-female adapter into which he connected the Cinema Display. The firm reiterated to me a few months ago it hadn’t found chips that work with the 2016 model, which means the other solutions I note below may not work for either the 2015 or 2016 MacBooks.Īdam Miller assembled a three-piece solution that works for him. Nonda later released the Hub+ mini ( see our review) for just the 2015 MacBook with a reduced set of features, but still including a Mini DisplayPort jack. It said at the time it was unable to get an Apple Cinema Display to work reliably with the USB-C chipsets from major providers. Nonda canceled the project in October 2015, refunding all pledges. The folks at Nonda used Kickstarter to crowdfund the Hub+ back in 2015 to bring a full-featured dock that would have Mini DisplayPort for Apple Cinema Displays, passthrough power, and other features. A monitor that offers DisplayPort via Thunderbolt 3 (at up to 5K) uses the same USB-C connector, but only works with Thunderbolt 3 Macs, as the DisplayPort data is encapsulated as part of Thunderbolt 3’s data stream.īut there may still be a problem with 12-inch MacBooks. The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros with Thunderbolt 3 support DisplayPort either over USB-C or as a mode within Thunderbolt 3! So a monitor that offers DisplayPort over USB-C (at up to 4K) can work with any Mac with USB-C, because all of those models support DisplayPort over USB-C. Apple opted to include DisplayPort’s alternate mode with the 12-inch MacBook (20).

Which modes a computer or other device can use depends on the controller. The USB-C standard for connecting devices includes USB 2 and 3, but allows for a bunch of extras, including DisplayPort, which are called alternate modes. The Apple Thunderbolt Display used Thunderbolt 2 to connect to a Mac and deliver via the monitor FireWire 800, ethernet, USB, a camera, mic, and speakers. The connector looks identical to Mini DisplayPort, but a Thunderbolt 2 controller and port could handle either a DisplayPort-only monitor or a Thunderbolt 2-supporting monitor, such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display, sold from 2011 to 2016.

Thunderbolt 2 rolled up a form of PCI Express data plus video using DisplayPort, and could support other kinds of data formats, like FireWire, through adapters or docks.
