Dear all,
first of all, thank you for your time!!! 🙂
I'm wondering if I can use a thunderbolt 3 monitor with my MacBook Pro A1502 mid 2014, via thunderbolt 2 with the "Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter", and if yes, can it provide also charging?
Thank you again
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
The LG Thunderbolt 3 display sold by Apple is too high a resolution to work with your MacBook Pro.
Even if it worked, it could not power the laptop since only Thunderbolt 3 ports can handle power.
Apple mentions only Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 displays, to a Thunderbolt 3 computer, not the other way round.

"In addition, it can be used to connect Thunderbolt-enabled displays — such as the Apple Thunderbolt Display and LG Thunderbolt 2 displays — to any of the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports on your MacBook Pro."
The Thunderbolt ports on your MacBook Pro can be used with Mini DisplayPort adapters to run DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA displays, but not USB-C or Thunderbolt-3 displays.

Thank you.
So, what I want to do it is not possible... What a pity!
However if I understand well, I can use HDMI port or any adapter with tb/DVI and so on... Am I right?
Thank you!!!
Thank you very much!!!
