M3 MacBook Air and external 4K Display

[Mikey86uk]

Hi guys,

Quick question. I would like to charge and use an external display using a single USB Type C! My monitor supports charging (65W) and display over USB Type C but not sure what cable I need to use?

I was going to go with the official Apple 240W charge cable but I assume this won't support video to the external monitor?

Could someone recommend me a decent cable? Preferably one that's available in the UK.

Thanks

EDIT: Would something like the Anker 515 USB C to USB C cable work?

Considering you did not include any specifications for your display, this cable should cover all the bases -

Thanks.

Sorry I forgot to mention my display. 27” 4K display so the above cable would be fine.

As it’s not available in the UK and its spec is almost identical to the Anker one I mentioned I have ordered that one.

Thanks for your help! 👍🏼

i use https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09198FV8S/ but it caps out at 4k60, just an fyi

might be my monitor though (it supports 4k120 but i have only achieved that on macOS when using a dedicated thunderbolt to displayport cable)
