Getting Apple Cinema HD Display working in Windows 7 x64

This question is old, but in case anyone is still looking, a driver that works is here:

Look for the link to Beta Versions and Old Releases for the latest.

The beta version works with Windows 10 Creators update as of 12/25/2017.


This article over on the Apple KB has links to some driver/software updates for Windows 7, but the drivers are from Bootcamp 3.2

This is the direct link to the Bootcamp drivers for x64.

Even though you are not running a Mac, the Bootcamp drivers will install regardless.

Bootcamp 4 is however available for download (for OSX users only) You should be able to extract the drivers and install them separately, 7-Zip will allow you to extract from DMGs and PKGs

Note, the display should be detected on all machines, however you may have issues with brigthness controls, or using the built in audio without using the Apple drivers.


I use the WinACD drivers from sourceforge.net for my dell laptop connected to my apple cinema display. http://sourceforge.net/projects/winacd/files/WinACD/WinACD-0.4/
