Ok, I've got a couple old 30" ACD displays availble to try making work. Before I waste $100 on a pair of adapters to get them connected to the MBP16, I'm looking at the octopus of cables here and thinking, if you guys are having trouble with anything but a single direct line from the MBP to the display, the ACD's already got that line going from the display to DVI, through an adapter to MD, and I'll be stringing at least one more connection between it and the computer. As well, the built in hub requires the additional & separate USB2 line, which it sounds like shoulnd't be put inline with the display signal, so, there goes another couple ports... this is a lot of adapters plugged into adapters here. Maybe I just answered my own question & it's time to box the ACD's back up & move them out.
It'd be nice if someone like, I dunno, Apple maybe, also made a couple more USB-C cables since they've booted us all into the USB-C only era. Like a decent right-angle USB-C to Mini-B cable to get everyones accessories plugged in, or a USB-C cable for all the hundreds of thousands of ACD's out in the world. And who designed these adapters that place the brick 2" from your laptop instead of at the other end down the line. Like I want 3 of those ugly beasts cluttering up my workspace, as a constant reminder that I bought a computer that isn't compatible with anything else I own. Strangely, of all the cable mfg's in the world, options for every common connection I need my MBP to make are either completely missing or total junk.
