Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello all,
I think about new MacBook Pro 13" and I have 2005 Apple 23" LED Cinema Display with DVI port. I need to know if new M1 MacBooks still compatible with old Apple Cinema displays and work with them without any compatibility problems. If yes is it possible to plug a DVI display to new M1 MacBook by thunderbold3 - DVI adapter like the next one https://merlion.com/catalog/product/824065 ?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Yes.
Computer-end: USB-C
Display End: single-link DVI ending in a female plug for the display's captive input cord
this adapter can do that job:
Monoprice Select Series USB-C to DVI and USB-C (F) Dual Port Adapter - Product # 15243 - US$18.99
.
Yes.
Computer-end: USB-C
Display End: single-link DVI ending in a female plug for the display's captive input cord

.
The 23-in display is 1920 wide or less, so adapters are "single-Link DVI" and not too complicated.
There are adapters, but the one you cited is for the ThunderBolt-2 ports on your old MacBook Pro.
The one for your new MacBook Pro requires a USB-C computer port.
well, thank you for reply but if be honest I don't still understand if I can connect the mew M1 13 Macbook pro with 23 HD Cinema Display or not?
Yes my Display is 1920x1200 digital dvi connection port
The port on the computers (Only) can feature BOTH digital outputs and analog outputs, as shown in this complicated diagram:
(Diagram from Wikipedia. drag and drop on Preview to see larger)
The combination of BOTH analog And digital is called DVI-I.
DVI-D Digital is provided as either Single-link (the grid LESS the six middle pins in the grid, shown in medium blue). Or Dual-Link which includes the six middle pins.
Direct Analog VGA output is provided in the blade at the end, plus the four pins around it, plus one Sync signal from the top row of the grid (salmon-pink on the diagram)
Thanks! Is it still possible to adjust displays position when you connect an old HD Cinema display to the new 13" Macbook pro?
Hope other settings (like color adjustment) are possible as well?
I understand that we're talking about an old display model but I don't want to buy all new computer peripherals after upgrading to M1 Mac.
DVI-D.
it does not accept the Analog VGA signals, and may even have the four pins around the blade de-populated.
look closely at the "common display Interfaces" diagram posted far above, for the two different connectors possible.
BUT: in some cases, if the larger connector was cheaper that week, devices may have been built with whatever connector was cheaper, and the signals just not connected.
Thanks! So in addition I would like to ask what "DVI-I" means, a dvi analogue port?
my 23" HD Cinema display has DVI-D or DVI-I connector?
That picture is still relevant. The displays must touch on some side (any side you choose).
Yes, each display can be adjusted for colors etcetera independently.
Is it possible to plug a DVI display to new M1 MacBook?
