For less than $20, using the three Monoprice products listed below (originally assembled by Adam Miller and referenced in the "How to connect the Apple Cinema Display to the new MacBook Pro" article) I now have a solution with my Apple 27" LED Cinema Display connected to my 2017 Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27") and working flawlessly.
