    Just want to add for newer MBPs with the MagSafe, unfortunately, there is no older MagSafe on the TBD to MagSafe 3 adapter yet, and with low demand and I hear difficulty with the MSv3 engineering changes may not be. So an adapter, old MagSafe to USB-C adapter, or just use a power brick for your newer MBP.

    Anyone know how to switch usb c or thunderbolt so I can use (and switch) between two Macs on a single thunderbolt display? When I use this 27 Thunderbolt Display on my Mac Studio it works, same for using it on my 2020 intel iMac.. it works. But is it possible to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug everytime? I haven't been able to find a hub or any amount of adaptors that can get that job done.

    Great video! Thank You. I wasn't"t quite clear on why you needed the extra dongle, unless for just charging your MacBook. I chose to use the MagSafe charger to the fast charging power brick. It looks neater. To be clear, this monitor still looks great in 2023. I have it connected to my brand new M2 MacBook Air, running Mac OS Ventura. Using it as the primary monitor, with the MacBook keyboard and trackpad. I may pick up a USB mouse and keyboard, to use in clamshelll mode.

    Hi there it was a great video. Thank you! However I am running into a problem regarding the Thunderbolt display's brightness. I have a MacBook Pro 2020 which I want to plug into the monitor. I also have the necessary Apple Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 Adapter you outlined above. The monitor has been working as expected for a while now. Just last week when I plugged it in, the screen got very faint and does not show the picture fully. I can only see the screen when I hold a light to it. The problems persisted and I cannot fix. The mag safe charger works OK, the sound comes through clearly and the laptop recognizes the Thunderbolt Display. But the screen is persistently very faint. Even when I push the brightness up on the keyboard, it doesn't fix. Any tips here? Thanks!

    My monitor screen flickers and goes black when using the thunderbolt cable to connect to my MacBook Pro. I believe there is a faulty connection somewhere between the monitor and the MacBook Pro. Would using the thunderbolt port on the back of the monitor to connect to my MacBook Pro allow me to use the monitor in that same fashion ?

      I’m having the same issue. I saw on a forum that it worked connecting that way with no further issues. So I’m trying that next. I also bought an original power supply cord off of eBay. The display I purchased was from FB marketplace. Although it looks to be in excellent condition , the seller didn’t have the original power cord. After researching ( someone correct me if I’m wrong ) it appears that you actually must use the original power cord due to electromagnetic measurement or something. So I’m going to see what happens. Then if exchanging the power cord, and plugging into the back of the display port doesn’t work, I’m going to update the firmware. I hope I can get it sorted out, I love this display!!!

      I had this issue: the hub adapter had two thunderbolt- I use one for external monitors 4K and second won’t charge. I bought a different hub which was less complicated and both worked fine. Weird but I think it depends on the adapter now that technology is finding solutions to previous problems.

    If you plan to build a dual monitor setup with old Thunderbolt displays, you should take into account that the devices almost all have different brightness levels due to their age. Over the last few years I've had about 7 Thunderbolt displays and the brightness has been between 3,900 (almost yellow image) and 5,900 (pretty good white) lux. Apparently the displays burn out over the years depending on how heavily they're used. I measured 6,500 lux during the iMac 5K DIY monitor conversion.

      Have you already updated your computer to one of the latest software? If you already done, Next, try using your thunderbolt display without having any USB devices plugged into it. If the problem still persists, the issue might be from speakers in the display. Maybe you can test with external speakers.

    hey great video. question in the back of the display there is a thunderbolt 2 port , can you connect a ssd or hard drive and check the transfers speed??

    • @Askdoudou
      @Askdoudou  3 роки тому

      Hi, I would've really want to test that, unfortunately I don't have any SSD with Thunderbolt 2 interface (because I couldn't find any from the market (This is most likely due to the recent arrival of Thunderbolt 3.0/USB-C hard drives).
      But if you are looking for a way on how to keep up with fast transfer speeds with external drives (Thunderbolt 2 = 20 Gbps or 2.5GB/s) from your display: I suggest that:
      1- You get yourself an SSD Enclosure,Thunderbolt3 Hard Drive something like this one: amzn.to/2JbJwVE
      2- You can then use Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter, so you can connect it to the display: amzn.to/3l29DvK
      This will insure that you get a higher transfer speed. Please if you have achieved this and tested it out, let me know in comment, or best if you can snap a screen video I will definitely share it with the guys. After all we want to share knowledge and help ;)
      Thanks

      This is a bit of a sham I am afraid. The thunderbolt connector only works on 2009-2014 iMacs and only on 2019 or less new iMacs. 2020+ is not supported. However, "Luna Display" will allow for it, but it costs $120US. The 2013 27" is still a beautiful 4k monitor though so that $120 would be worth it. You can't buy a monitor of that quality for the sale price of the 2013 that looks anything near as good. I have been looking for nearly 2 years.
