Works perfectly on my Apple Cinema HD Display
More specifically, this is the Apple Cinema HD Display 30" monitor, which has a resolution of 2560 by 1600. This adapter helped me set this display up on my new Windows 11 PC. The frame rate is at 60 Hz (more specifically, 59.86 Hz, guess that's an Apple thing) at full resolution.

Works great but needs re-plugging every single tim
Works great on boot, but after 1 minute the screen goes "fuzzy" like those old crt tv's when they're not tuned in.  I have to replug the USB power lead every single time I turn my PC on which is annoying.  Once this is done it works flawlessly for many hours.

Apple Cinema Display
I wanted to continue using my 30-inch Apple Cinema Display (ACD) while moving to an iMac (Late 2013) model with Thunderbolt-2 ports. The maximum resolution was a scaled 1200x800 when connected via a standard miniDP to DVI dongle. The (ACD) utilizes a Dual-Link DVI-D cable that is not detachable.

Ok adaptor, works quickly
I have tested this adaptor on several computers and it works very quickly. When using a Lenovo ThinkPad docking station for an extended period of time, the screen would go black for 1-2 seconds every few hours (this didn't happen with other adaptors). 
 
The adaptor comes in a slim small box that many small PCI cards come in. The adaptor has a DVI port on one end and th...
