Hi Club-3D,
 

I have a 30″ and a 24″ Apple Cinema Display and I want to run them with my new Apple Studio M1 Max. 

With this in mind, I bought 2 x 2 Club 3D USB Type C to Dual Link DVI-D Active Adapters from Amazon.de.
 
However, when it comes to video playback there are these multicoloured streaks running horizontally across the screen. 
 
Please could advise how this could be fixed?

Do you mean like this? https://insights.club-3d.com/thread/flickering-problem-with-cac-1510-a-and-apple-cinema-display-30-on-mac-mini-m1/

I don’t think there’s a fix.

If you mean something else, then please post a picture of the issue.

That’s a frustrating issue! I’ve had similar display problems myself, though not with Cinema Displays specifically. It often points to a bandwidth or signal integrity problem. Have you tried isolating the issue to one adapter or one display yet? Sometimes a quick check on a platform like a CPS test site for your M1 Max’s display output capabilities can offer clues, as it helps identify if your system is actually pushing the expected signal.

This is such a relatable struggle! I remember trying to get my old monitor set up with a new Mac, and the adapter issues were a nightmare. For troubleshooting, I’ve found incredible advice from other users on platforms like Basketball Stars. The community there is surprisingly diverse, and you’d be amazed at how many tech-savvy people chime in with practical solutions. Definitely worth checking out for this kind of specific hardware problem!
