Monitors
What adapter do I need for this old Apple monitor?
01/02/25
I upgraded my Mac to the MacBook Air and have been unable to locate an adapter to my Apple monitor (see images below). Would you happen to be able to point me in the right direction?

That’s an old 27” Apple monitor I do believe and it had one cable that broke out into a few different ones including the old mag safe power adapter and what you’re holding there, which looks like the “mini display port”. Also known as thunderbolt. To connect it to a modern computer, you’ll need a Thunderbolt to USBC adapter. https://amzn.to/4gmhNeP
But I’ll give you a bit of warning. I had one of these monitors for many years and loved it but compared to current modern monitors, it uses a massive amount more energy and is not as good as current resolutions. There will come a day where Apple may not even support connecting to it. I eventually phased mine out but it could be worth the price of the adapter just to keep it in use for a bit longer. But its days are numbered.
