How to connect Apple TV / Xbox One HDMI to LED Cinema Display?

[timidhermit]

I am trying to find a way to connect the HDMI out from Apple TV or Xbox One HDMI to the Mini DisplayPort on my LED Cinema Display.

Is there a way to do so? From what I researched, I need a switcher.

This forum had some posts referring to the Atlona HDMI / Mini DisplayPort switcher, but the posts are very old and refer to a model that is no longer being produced by Atlona.

I am wondering if anyone know what is the best "current" solution for this problem?

I think you will need to find an adaptor. This thread gives you some info:- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5723162?tstart=0

I haven't had a chance to test this myself (yet), but will definitely be hooking up an Apple TV 4 to an old 24" LED Cinema Display I have in storage. It'll be used as a bedroom TV, and I'm really glad I'll be able to give it some new life instead of having it just sit there!

Hey did you ever try this out? I got the kanex XD today and it was not working with my Xbox. Even though it says it works with my 24'' LED Cinema Display, I couldn't find anyone online confirming that it does. I'm guessing it only works with 27''.
