Important tips to know
Many adapters can be used to connect multiple monitors to a computer. Some are VGA adapters, USB adapters, HDMI adapters, and DVI adapters. If you are using VGA, DVI, or USB adapters, you need to ensure that the adapters are compatible with your computer.
The HDMI adapter is a great choice for connecting multiple monitors to a computer because it is high quality and well suited for gaming, video editing, and other high-performance tasks. The DVI adapter is also a good choice. The DVI adapter can deliver better picture quality than the VGA adapter, but the DVI adapter is more expensive than the VGA adapter.

FAQs
How to set up external monitors on your Mac
You can use an HDMI cable to connect the external monitor to your Mac’s DisplayPort. USB connections don’t carry the information required for the monitor to display an image; the DisplayPort does. A DVI cable is also a viable solution. However, like the HDMI, you will also need a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter to use that solution.
