The Apple Cinema HD 30 is finally working with my Macbook Pro M3! I thought it would be impossible after trying so many different adapters with no success. I could not get HDMI to work with this monitor, so I gave up on that.If you have an old Cinema HD 30 (CCFL), it should work with these exact parts:-Apple Dual-Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter (requires USB A connection)-CableMatters Mini DisplayPort (female) to DisplayPort (male) short cable-CableMatters DisplayPort (female) to USB CThis USB C adapter is plug and play, no need for drivers on MacOS.Video signal looks great at max resolution: 2560 x 1600, 60hz. Tested with 4k videos.I could not get it to work with my Android phone.

I am using this to connect a laptop to a 49 inch monitor. The pixel density of the monitor is really pushing the graphic card of the laptop, but the DisplayPort adapter hasn't given me a single issue yet. 49 inch monitors are known to be touchy about cables and connectors, so this unit's performance and reliability has been a welcome relief.

I've got this dongle going from my USB-C video out on my Radeon RX 6950 XT to a 15ft Displayport cable and then in to my LG 38" ultrawide monitor. At 3840 x 1600 160hz, this adapter has been flawless. I ran out of Displayport outs on the video card connecting other monitors and a VR headset. This is a great solution that makes use of that USB-C out and an extra Displayport cable I had laying around. Can totally recommend this one.

I purchased this adapter when the maker of my Thunderbolt 3 dock advised that when using two monitors on a Macbook Pro and their system, they had seen better results from an adapter than a DisplayPort to USB C cable. I have a number of Cable Matters products and have always been happy with them, and like the other products I own, this one was priced right.I purchased it in September 2022 and have been using it daily to power two BenQ 27" monitors. It's not a hard drive to load - they are not even 4k resolution - and it worked perfectly solving all random connection issues with my second monitor (it would originally turn black for a split second with random frequency on the DP-USB C cable).Fast forward to March 2022, my second monitor started having trouble getting a signal when I either rebooted my MBP or woke it from sleep. I would have to unplug the adapter from my dock and plug it back in to get a signal to the monitor.I figured I would have to buy another adapter, so I procrastinated for another month just dealing with this quirkiness before coming to Amazon to reach out to the manufacturer. I honestly didn't even expect a response.I received a reply in less than 24 hours! The CSR and I quickly went through troubleshooting via email and I let him know the alternate things I had tried, and within two emails they let me know they would send me a replacement under warranty. They're located in Massachusetts, much to my surprise, so you're not dealing with a seller in China in a drastically different time/date zone.The replacement works beautifully, and I hope the lack of longevity on the first one was just a fluke. Both of my DisplayPort monitor cables are from this company, as well as a longer Thunderbolt 4 cable because the tiny one provided by the dock manufacturer is far too short (and Cable Matters again was the only one priced reasonably) as well as a number of cables I use for my camera and audio equipment as a videographer. (Their XLR cables have been quite surprisingly good!)

Works as advertised. I use this for connecting one of my Display port monitors to my Dell Thunderbolt 4 docking station which allows me to easily dock my windows and MacBook Pro laptops seamlessly.

Gets the job done for a 1440p 240hz display, adapter does get moderately hot to touch though so will update accordingly if there are any problems with longevity.

Upon receiving this, I had hope I’d be able to use this product with my Oculus Rift S on my laptop, which does not have any DisplayPort plug ins. I had one USB C port available on my laptop so I thought, while reading the description on the product, that it would work. Knowing it’d be compatible with my devices, I thought it’d be no problem, unfortunately, I was mistaken. When plugging in, I immediately found out it was incompatible and kept getting errors stating “Unknown USB Device”, “Port Reset Failed.” I didn’t understand why so I followed hundreds of steps online and figured maybe it was my drivers, even downloaded a driver booster, and had no luck. I’m certain my graphics drivers are updated I had even looked online for that too, yet nothing seemed to pop up and I was still stuck trying technique after technique to try to get this to work. Spending hours on hours of my time doing this, it turned out terrible, and I feel ultimately defeated. I had no clue how to get this to work with my VR. All in all, not such a great experience, I regret this.

I had used a few cheaper adaptors before i bought this and all of them stop working after a month. One cheap adaptor would only loosely connect to the laptop and had to be forced into place again and again.I have no such issue with this adapter. It fits nicely in a standard USB - C port and had has been working great for over a month now.No issue with random disconnects, picture quality is amazing and there is on latency added to the display. I am able to use this for gaming with no issues.

I've got an Asus GX502GW laptop with rtx2070 gpu and after I received the Valve Index headset I was struggling to find a correct dongle for a DP output. The main issue is that there's no thunderbolt in it whereas most of the dongles are meant to be used with a thunderbolt port and even if they claimed they supported DP Alt mode they didn't work. There's only HDMI and usb-c DP Alt mode outputs in my laptop (it seems that the usb-c port is just a virtual link port, but I'm not sure) Can confirm that this dongle runs Valve Index through DP alt mode output with no issues at all. No image artifacts, no limits. Works well on any refresh rate set (80/90/120/144hz) looks well-build and overall is a great deal for the money. It does run hot (I'd say around 110-120°F) and I've been using it for only a couple of days and some people said it fails eventually but time will tell. Make sure that your usb-c output has a DP logo nearby and it is connected to the gpu if you're in the same situation. Anyways it completely worth the value. Highly recommended.

I bought another adapter that didn't work for my Rift s / Scar 3. Returned it and got this and it works flawlessly! Feels very solid and I'm not worried about it breaking any time soon. It also works for the usb c port on my rtx 2080, so if you're looking at this for VR it's a safe bet. Just make sure your USB C port is:A) a DP out or thunderboltB) connected to your gpu, not your cpu's graphics. Some laptops do this.I also noticed that it gets pretty warm when in use, but not warm enough to make me concerned about its lifespan.
