How to connect an iMac 2020 to a 23-inch Apple HD Cinema Display?

Hi

I have brought the latest 2020 iMac (Thunderbolt 3 compatible), and I want to connect it to my Apple HD Cinema 23-inch (1920 × 1200 this being a DVI-based display.


I have brought a USB C to DVI Adapter, Benfei USB Type-C to DVI Adapter [Thunderbolt 3 Compatible]

but the Apple screen flickers from the back screen picture to a blank black screen.


Can anyone suggest any other adapters that might work please ?

Thankyou

iMac Pro
