Apple LED Thunderbolt Display

This monitor uses a Thunderbolt 1 connection. It is designed specifically for older Mac hardware with Thunderbolt 1 or 2 ports, and it will not work directly with modern USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports without specific, often complex, adapter chains.

While it is technically possible to connect this display to a modern Mac using a combination of the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable, it is often unreliable and not officially supported. We generally recommend this display only for users with native Thunderbolt 1 or 2 hardware.

The integrated MagSafe connector is the original MagSafe 1 standard. It will charge older MacBooks equipped with that specific port, but it is not compatible with newer MacBooks that use MagSafe 2 or the current MagSafe 3 standard.

The display comes with a standard fixed-height stand, but it is also VESA mount compatible. If you prefer a wall mount or an articulating arm, you can remove the original stand and attach a VESA mount adapter.

The 27-inch panel features a 2560x1440 resolution. While this is lower than modern 4K or 5K displays, it still offers a sharp, high-quality image that is excellent for general productivity and office work.

Yes, it includes three USB 2.0 ports on the back. These allow you to connect peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, or external drive directly to the monitor, which then connects to your computer via the single Thunderbolt cable.
