Hello,
I am wondering if someone has already connected successfully the old but still wonderful Apple Cinema Display in its native resolution (2560x1600) to one of the new Apple Silicon M1 computer through USB-C link ?
I am interested in buying the brand new M1 ship Apple Mac Mini.
I remember that a solution had been found for the Mac Mini 2018 Intel based line through the USB-c link.
Thanks for your feedback !
Regards
I have 30” Cinema Display and a 2018 MacBook Pro connected to it via a Henge dock and I can use the full resolution. However when I unplug the pro and plug in my m1 MacBook Air I do not get the full resolution. I haven’t spent any more time of on it than that brief try so I’m unsure if the MacBook Air can drive this screen.
Update: I didn’t see the comment about the option key to see the full list of resolutions so I tried this an it works!
To be clear: I have this Stone - USB-C Multi-Port Desktop Hub for MacBook - Mini DisplayPort, Ethernet Port, Power Supply, 3 USB Ports, USB-C Port, SD Card, and Headphone/Speaker Connections https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076W7GVFY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_.sG-FbH6WMSNX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
and it’s plugged into the original cable and power brick that came with the screen.
hope this help!

Unfortunately this is only solution for one ACD 30” and not two ACD 30”. :(
you have a MacBook m1, I have a Mac mini m1.....
and you have 11.2.1 installed?
Is there any way to tell what version I have? year? M9179LL/A - A1083 Serial: CY72328TXMP
Let me know if you get two 30" ACD connected to that unit please. I may replace my MacPro with it.
I use the Thunderbolt with Mini Display to my M1 MacBook and it know the settings every time.
Can you send a link for this thunderbolt mini-displayPort thingie? I'm curious how you are connecting it? Do you have a second adapter to go from displayPort to dual DVI?
Hi Raven34, any chance you have tried to connect two 30”ACD to Mac mini m1?
I could if I had two :) 30” + 23” is what I have
How is that configuration connected?
Will the Mac mini M1 run both at the same time?
Don’t know, I can try. This is the OEM and icy box for 30”
Indeed I does run both. 2018 connections is HDMI. M1 icybox
Yes this is the way but for me ONLY running 11.1....try updating and do the same
