Generally, the answer is no, but it could be yes or maybe. Most of us are. Also, it might work in the future, if the widespread adoption of the new USB Type-C port makes Thunderbolt more popular. HDMI is a licensed consumer electronics connection designed for flat screen TVs and things that connect to them: Blu-ray players, games consoles, PCs etc.
Monitor manufacturers usually support more than one standard to increase the chance that their screens will work with more devices, though adaptor cables can sometimes bridge the gap. In this case, unfortunately, Apple only supports Thunderbolt and nothing else. The same 27in screen used to be available with a DisplayPort connector — it was called the Apple Cinema Display — but it was discontinued in Thunderbolt was originally developed by Intel, and it was called Light Peak, partly because it used a fibre optic cable.
I first saw it working in This driver can be obtained from Apple's Bootcamp software package the one Apple provides so you can run Windows on a Mac natively. This package includes Thunderbolt Display driver among other things. But you might need a mac to download it. Because currently, Boot camp 6 is available through "Apple Software update" windows tool only. And it won't run unless you have a real mac. I tried to connect my 27" Apple 4K Thunderbolt display to my Voyager laptop and initially it didn't work.
I ended up buying two Samsung 28" displays and because of the configuration of my ports, they had different resolutions. The resolution is x and is crisp and beautiful. Unfortunately, I can't remember if I had downloaded something from Apple or elsewhere I did read the StarTech directions and followed them when I tried before and it didn't work.
If you have a Thunderbolt port on your laptop or PC and you go into BIOS and change the port to Display Only, and it still doesn't work, you may need the Startech adapter and additional downloads.

More Less. Will the same thing happen when you lower, tilt, or pivot a Thunderbolt display? I also have concerns about Thunderbolt connectors wearing down over time, just like USB-C connectors do on phones. The latter has given me a new appreciation for wireless charging.
The current price of Thunderbolt cables tends to be about two to four times that of an HDMI cable of similar length. For instance, this Anker 2. Note that current, copper-based Thunderbolt 3 cables experience signal degradation. While the spec allows for a cable up to three meters long, the maximum 40Gbps bandwidth is guaranteed only in cables up to two meters long. Optical Thunderbolt cables promise to remove this limitation. Speaking of bandwidth, Thunderbolt 3 as well as Thunderbolt 4 may be falling behind.
