I already wrote the question but now it shows in the subject line....
MacBook Pro
that ThunderBolt-3 <--> Thunderbolt-2 adapter supports ONLY genuine ThunderBolt displays, not USB-C display, not [full size] DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort.
That display appears to be a USB-C display, NOT supported by that adapter.

Hello malinilewis,
See if this is any help: Adapters for the Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port on your Mac or iPad Pro - Apple Support
I kind of suspect the answer will be no. I think anything for TB2 has pretty much disappeared and there's not even TB2 to USB3 or something I figure would be really popular.
Thank you for answering, I kind of suspect so too as I have tried pretty much everything I can think of over the last 3 days. MacBook screen is broken and I have to figure out something besides connecting it to the TV..
I think you are right. Thanks for answering. My MacBook screen is broken so I still have to figure something out, do you know of a workaround? I have been told by product support that the Display Port capacity is in the cable (not in my MacBook ie) so I feel like it should be solvable, just can’t seem to figure it out. The ZenScreen comes with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, which seems to me to imply that it could work on my MacBook, but I get the error message that my device does not support DP alt mode and to download the latest driver. Which I have done countless times at this point. The MacBook seems to block this driver as it won’t request access in either Accessibility or Screenrecording for me to then be able to say yes....
I believe you are right. I can also and have been connecting to the TV (horrible 😆). I wanted the small portable screen but yes if I don’t get this sorted today I will have to take it back and get a regular screen as you say.
PS yes a thunderbolt 2 to USB-C adaptor should be really popular ✔️
I think the TB2 doubles as a mini-display port, so if you have one of those adapters you could then attach it to a different style monitor.
Heh, if you wanted small I could give you the 17" 4:3 monitor I used to use with my MacBook. ;-) Not light though. Probably has cast iron in it somewhere.
I wish :). Thank you. I am in Australia though so I don’t think cast iron (or anything really) can fly all the way here :)
Hi, does anyone know if a thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adaptor will work to connect my early 2015 MacBook Pro to an ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACE? Laptop only has thunderbolt 2 ports and ZenScreen cable is USB-C both ends.
