    Macbook Pro (2015 + AMD Radeon model) connect with USB-C Monitors

    Hi all, After using my Apple Cinema Display "30 for years, I'm in the market for a new USB-C monitor (looking at 4K displays). As my Macbook pro has a external Radeon GFX card It supports 4/5K displays. How do I connect a USB-C monitor with a thunderbolt 2 connection ? Thanks in advance!
