I've a MacBook Pro 15" 2010 running the latest version of High Sierra and I'm looking to buy an external monitor, as well as the right cable to connect it to. Its only monitor port is a miniDisplayPort though.
I read online that after macOS Sierra, Apple blocked some third party monitor cables from working. Is there an update out by now which fixed this issue? Have they re-enabled them already?
Extra question: If the exact same monitor supports both HDMI and DisplayPort video input, should I get a miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable or a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable? Which one will give me better results in terms of video/audio? Or is it the same thing when it's the same monitor? Any general rule of thumb?
Thank you : )
