Thread Name: Tech: Apple Thunderbolt Monitors
Subject: RE: Tech: Apple Thunderbolt Monitors
I assume that's a usb-c to thunderbolt 2 connector. For that to work two things need to happen:
1 The cable+monitor needs to identify itself as a video-accepting device. Will it? Maybe. If Apple deigned the cable to run a TB2 monitor, as opposed to a TB2 storage device say, then an Apple computer should recognise it. Will a PC? No idea: Apple won't have considered it.
2 IF the PC recognises it's a video monitor will it send it video? That depends on there being a driver to send video over usb. Is there one? No idea. Apple won't have written one. Microsoft might have. There are drivers for video input over usb - e.g. video cameras. Link1 And not all usb-c ports are equal. Link2
