Mac Studio Monitor compatibility

I'm considering buying a Mac Studio with this config below. I have an old Apple Cinema HD LCD Display, 23". Will this work with the Mac Studio?

Also, if anyone has an input on whether this configuration will be adequate for graphic and web design (Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver [don't hate], and Acrobat), no heavy video editing.

It will work with the Mac Studio through the use of a Thunderbolt 3/4 to DVI adapter

However, the resolution on that display is now very limited for what the Mac Studio can display, and what is currently used / required for graphic work in Photoshop, Illustrator etc... The Cinema Display maxes out at 1920x1200 while the Mac Studio can produce up to 6K (6144x3160) resolutions.

While you can use it as a temporary solution while you get a better display, I would not try to use it as your main display for an extended period of time. It will be quite restrictive.
