"Apple Display Thunderbolt" as TV

Hello guys! I wanted to use an "Apple Display Thunderbolt" as TV. I need an adapter to convert the HDMI signal from the decoder to form Thunderbolt monitor. Does anyone have any idea. just need the video signal, the audio can send to an independent sound system.

Cannot be done.  TB display requires a TB source and there are no converters/adapters available.
Note, even if there were converters/adapters  you coudn't do it due to HDCP (copy preotection).
However look at the Elgato products for TV input to your computer to be displayed on your monitor.  But even there HDCP will get in the way for HD.

  • USB-C to mini display port and thunderbolt apple displays

    I currently have a 24 in late 2008 Apple Cinema Display connected to a 2008 MacBook.  This particular display has a three pronged connector (MagSafe, mini DisplayPort, conventional USB).  I am thinking of upgrading to the new MacBook but am concerned about the compatibility with my display.  Will there be an adapter or solution to connect the USB-C port to the three pronged connector of the apple Cinema Display?  I see that USB-C port has support for hdmi, VGA, and standard display port but I see nothing about Mini DisplayPort or MagSafe.  There is also no mention of thunderbolt dislay connectivity (for newer adopters of Apple displays).  I understand innovation often comes at a price but it seems like a fairly large oversight to potentially obsolete fairly expensive larger apple Mini DisplayPort and thunderbolt devices for people who are looking to upgrade.  This will certainly factor into my decision in purchasing new apple laptops in the future, especially if the standard inevitably moves toward USB-C on all devices.  Thanks for any help!

    You can connect your 24" display with the Apple HDMI adapter

    followed by a HDMI to Mini DisplayPort converter

    The MacBook USB-C connector does support DisplayPort, so there may be a future adapter that would avoid the HDMI conversion.
    You won't be able to use the MagSafe cable.

  • Hi I'm looking for a thunderbolt extension cable so I can hook up my 27" LED THURDERBOLT APPLE DISPLAY SCREEN.

    Hi I'm looking for a thunderbolt extension cable so I can hook up my 27" LED THURDERBOLT APPLE DISPLAY SCREEN.

    Extension cables for Thunderbolt don't yet exist, but Apple has recently released a Thunderbolt cable that is 2M or 6.5 feet long.  I just connected my 27" Thunderbolt display to my iMac, which sit about 4-feet apart from each other, and it works perfectly.  You just don't use the Thunderbolt connection cable that is attached to the display - plug the display's power cable in, and use the 6.5-foot Thunderbolt cable to connect the display to the computer.

  • Can I connect a G5 tower and Macbook Pro to one 30" Apple Display Monitor?

    I would like to know if it is possible to connect a G5 tower (older power pc) and a new Macbook Pro to one 30" Apple Display. If so, how would I do this? Thank you.

  • Have new Apple Display Monitor

    I have a new Apple Display Monitor with new Thunderbolt cable. I currently have a MacBook Pro with older Mini DVI port. Is there an adapter for going from TB to DVI?

    No - you MUST have a Thunderbolt port on your Mac in order to work with the Apple Thunderbolt Display.

  • Can Iuse non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?

    Can I use a non Apple display with a new MacBook Pro?
    Special connections?

    Only thing you need is a minidisplayport-to-? adapter ... plugs into Thunderbolt port.  ? is replaced by VGA or HDMI or DVI.
    I have used high-quality brand names (LG, Samsung) that were picked because I liked the display and have had no issues.
    I will add that some threads speak of issues with some Dell monitors that work spottily if at all.  But only from reading other threads.

  • 27" Latest Apple Display compatibility with 2009 24" iMac 9,1

    Can anyone tell me whether the latest Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display released on July 20, 2011 is compatible with the 2009 24" iMac 9,1
    The Apple Thunderbolt Display tech specs on apple.com/uk states the following system requirements:
    Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    Currently I have Leopard installed but I have Snow Leopard 10.6 which I can upgrade so I have that covered but I'm not sure whether my iMac is a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer...
    Any feedback/guidance would be greatly appreciated... Cheers, Sasdaman

    Here's a new article that basically covers and clears up all the new Thunderbolt display questions (same things I previously stated).
    Enjoy!!

    You need to purchase an adopter for Display port and VGA

  • Add a Apple display to 09 iMac 27"

    Is it possible to use the Apple 27" Display as a second on an iMac 27" late 2009 model using the mini display port and the Apple adapter?

    Is it possible to use the Apple 27" Display
    Is this last year's Mid 2010 27" LCD Apple Display? If so, it is mini-DisplayPort display, just as the Late '09 iMac is DisplayPort. You should use a m-DP to m-DP cable and all should be well.
    If this is the new ThunderBolt display, no, it only works with the new TB Macs. There is no adapter to make it work with another Mac.

  • Apple display

    ok on the clear flat apple display did they all just have adc or did some have dvi

    ADC was used on displays from 17" to 23" only.  The 27" comes in two versions: Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt.
    Depending on the version, a G5 has ADC, single-link DVI, or dual-link DVI for connecting displays.  Only dual-link DVI will work for a 27" display.  You will need the Mini DisplayPort version of the display
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC007LL/A>
    and a dual-link DVI to Mini DisplayPort converter

  • Sony Vaio for the apple display

    I have a sony vaio and an apple display. I want to use the apple display to display what I have on my vaio. Is there any adapter that I can use for the thunderbolt adapter (thunderbolt to firewire) to go towards my vaio (has a firewire port)to display my screen?

    ok here is what i did to get mine working:
    plugged my old monitor back in, installed the new graphics card with latest drivers.
    Rebooted
    put old monitor at resolution i know the apple cinema display can do.
    turned monitor off and unplugged.
    put dvi of apple cinema display in graphics card,
    then plugged the ac adaptor in the plug socket, then plugged the monitor supply into the ac unit,
    then swtched computer on.
    boot screen or winxp loading screen does not show up,
    once i know windows has fully loaded, unplug the cinema ac cable, plug it back in and voilla i have a wndows screen, ill try not to reboot my pc often from now on. why it only happens to this monitor i dont know. hope there is some kind of fix soon. good luck

  • MBP's Retina display & Thunderbolt display?

    I plan to upgrade from my MacBook to a MacBook pro and a Thunderbolt Display, need the large screen display and the portability.  Will the Thunderbolt display reflect the quality of the MBP’s Retina display?   

    I have that exact setup with a new MBP Retina and a Thunderbolt 27" Display. I love the setup. But, no, the Thunderbolt is not a Retina display. However, the size of the screen makes up for it with me. I'm sure that Apple will produce a Thunderbolt Retina display within the next year. Probably kinda pricey since the TD is already $1,000, thereabouts.
    One thing I did have go wrong on the display was the "All-in-One" display cable which is a permanent cable mounted to the display (i.e. not replaceable by user) and which has two cable connector that connect to your computer (one for computer power and one for a Thunderbolt computer port). Either the cable or some electronics in the TD leading to the cable failed. My symptom was that video was just fine (fooling you to think all is well), but I lost external control to anything plugged into the ports on the display (USB, Ethernet, Firewire, etc). It was as if the hub inside the display wasn't being powered up or something, and it also did not show up on the System Information under USB. The work around was to unplug the Display Thunderbolt cable from the Computer and bypass it with a regular Thunderbolt cable between the computer and the empty display Thunderbolt port.
    I love the setup now that my display works fine. One recommendation is to be sure and have an extra Thunderbolt cable on hand.

  • Using an external non-Apple display on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion

    On Friday I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and now I am not able to use my 23" Samsung monitor exclusively as my display. I can mirror the MacBook Pro's display, but then my HD monitor's resolution is downgraded.
    I used to start-up my MacBook Pro pushing the "On" button and then quickly closing the notebook. When it has started and the display was shown on my Samsung monitor, I opened the MacBook and all would be well. I had the benefit of the full HD resolution of my Samsung monitor, with all the menus and the MacBook's screen would be blank. If I follow the same steps now, the moment I open my MacBook, everything shifts back to the MacBook and the external screen only shows the background picture, with no menus.
    I am a photographer and use the large HD-quality screen to see fine detail when I am doing editing. I do not like to work on two screens at the same time, and would prefer it to just keep on working in the same way as previuosly.
    Can someone please give me advice on my problem?

    This may help but then it may not. I tested it with my iMac and non-Apple second display so results may vary.
    With both the MacBook and the second display powered on go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement
    Drag the Menu Bar to the second display and then drag the display itself to the other side of the second display. This should allow acces to the dock and Menubar on the non-Apple display and achive your desired results.
    Note: If I sleep my iMac the second display stops so you may need to keep your MacBook open to use these settings
    Hope that helps
