Q: QuestionDoes this port works to connect Xbox to apple display

Asked 9 months ago by Mudit.

• A:Answer The Best Buy essentials™ Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter is designed to connect devices with a Mini DisplayPort to an HDMI display. However, it is not suitable for connecting an Xbox to an Apple display. The Xbox typically uses an HDMI output, and Apple displays usually require a Thunderbolt or USB-C connection for optimal performance. If you need to connect an Xbox to an Apple display, you might need a different type of adapter or cable, such as an HDMI to USB-C adapter, depending on the specific ports available on your Apple display.
