Connecting MacBook Pro 2019 16" with Apple Cinema Display 23''

If anyone is interested, I have at last found a working solution for at least my exact constellation.

I already had this part here: https://lmp-adapter.com/product/lmp-usb-c-mini-dock/

Now I just needed this adapter: https://www.apple.com/ch-de/shop/product/MJVU2ZM/A/apple-hdmi-auf-dvi-adapter

Now it works. So DVI to HDMI and then from HDMI to USB-C seems to work in this exact constellation.

Nobody at Apple support (several attempts) knew about it, and authorized vendors didn't either. A very small local Apple supporter finally knew the solution.

I hope this helps others as well.

Hi Malcom.

Thank you very much for the advice!

Wow, another 150$ to spend for my new MacBook?!

Before I do that, I would like to share some of my research:

If my more local dealer is not mistaken, the LMP adapter I tested should also be active, but didn't work:

Then to go on, some people claim that the following adapter works, others say it doesn't work (sorry, the comments are in German):

One of them who claims that the above Club 3d doesn't work, suggests that this one works:

https://www.digitec.ch/en/s1/product/equip-usb-c-dvi-i-dvi-15cm-notebook-adapters-10143650

But of course someone here claims again that this one does also not work.

It is a bit confusing.

It is a bit frustrating that Apple is not willing to suggest an adapter to connect two Apple products that actually works. I was on the phone with several Apple people, nobody could point me in the right direction.

Before I order the 150 Dollar adapter, that "may help", maybe somebody knows actually an adapter that works?

Thanks a lot!

The abovementioned Club 3D is also not working. Display switches on and off and on and off.....

So the question remains, which indispensable feature would make an adapter actually work. Being active seems not to be sufficent.

Anyone?
