Keeping in that mind I would like to connect my MacBook Air to monitor via display port family.īuy a USB C - USB C cable ( with usb 3.1 gen 2 - as mentioned on the packaging of a cable from amazon ) Grant Bennet-Alder in an another thread suggested to connect a monitor through DisplayPort family rather than legacy HDMI interface - as it is better efficient and doesn't heat up Mac too much with power so Mac will run cooler. So I guess the shipped in charger cable along with MacBook doesn't support data transmission.

The USB - C cable charging cable that came with MacBook air when I plug it into the monitor - it doesn't detect any display. Specs of my monitor and MacBook air - given here I am interested in connecting my MacBook Air (13-inch, 2018, Retina, two thunderbolt 3 ports model ) to an HP EliteDisplay E273q 27-inch Monitor through the USB-C to USB-C communication.
