I want to connect my MacBook Pro 2016 (Touch Bar) to an external monitor, preferably 21 inch.
It looks like I need a screen, a USB C Adaptor and an appropriate cable to make the connection.
BUT
According to this article,
https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-use-second-display-screen-mac-3621421/
It says you can use a thunderbolt display, but you cannot use
1) USB C to DVI as Apple doesn't make one, and it cautions against using 3rd party adaptors
2) USB C to mini display port.
I don't need a thunderbolt display as I'll only be working on word documents and email. 4K resolution is a v expensive overkill for this.
A cheap 21 inch screen would otherwise do, but I want to be able to connect it to my Mac.
Has anyone done this? What can I use?
When I look on Amazon for 21 inch monitors, I see several cheap ones with DVI connectors and then there's a price bump to get HDMI? Are there other options? What should I be looking for?
Please note I am based in London, UK and links to American stores won't help.
