Connect Surface to Cinema Display?

This will connect a PC to a thunderbolt monitor? Do you have a link or model of one that will work? I have a high end PC and.a surface pro 3. I am thinking about buying a 2016 Thunderbolt Display for $500 bucks! I want to use this monitor!

Only computer that left the factory with a ThunderBolt connector can use ThunderBolt peripherals. There is no way to add it later (except one ASUS system with has the card made optional to save money, and ships with a special slot.)

Looks like Mini DisplayPort output on most models of surface. If they implemented that properly, it converts with a simple adapter to the Single-Link DVI input on the Apple Cinema Display. Mini DisplayPort is a thunderbolt (1 or 2) subset, so these adapters are sometimes marketed (wrongly) as ThunderBolt adapters.

Connecting the USB may be required to adjust the brightness of the display, but I question whether there is any software on the surface to accomplish that.

Firewire connection is only needed if you wish to attach Firewire peripherals using its built-in Hub -- the display does not use the Firewire for anything.

... an added note for Users who may find this post by searching: the 30-in cinema display is 2560 by 1600 native resolution. Since it is wider than 1920 wide, it would require the much more expensive Dual-Link DVI adapter to function properly.

Every Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter for sale at this writing requires additional power, typically supplied with a USB pigtail. This lead MUST be connected to USB power, but it generally does not need to be connected to an actual USB-A port for data (a USB charger will suffice).

What was the adapter they used? Model and description please, thanks!
