Connecting a laptop to a monitor is easy once you know which port does the job. The right cable or hub depends on your laptop, monitor and the resolution you want.
Use HDMI when both devices have it
HDMI is the straightforward choice for TVs, monitors and projectors. For gaming or high refresh rates, choose a cable that supports the resolution and refresh rate you need.
Use USB-C when your laptop supports video
Many modern laptops can send video through USB-C, but not every USB-C port supports display output. Check your laptop specs if the monitor does not respond.

A hub with HDMI, USB and power delivery can turn one laptop port into a simple workstation connection.
