This is literally the exact video I was looking for! I have Macbook Air M1 and just bought an Asus external monitor. Excellent explaination.

You have no idea how much money you just saved me because I almost bought a new laptop. Thank you.

Thank you, you make it so simple. I was missing one simple step.

I am a MacBook novice new to the world of Apple computers. This video helped show how I would hook up my MacBook M2 to an external non-apple monitor. I have a dongle I had ordered by mistake thinking it could be used as a docking station and now will come in handy to link both components. Very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.

EXCELLENT tutorial. Straight to the point and simplified. Thanks!

Super helpful - this was absolutely everything I needed to know! Cheers,

So helpful and straightforward!! 😭 thank you sir!

Thank you! This is the most straightforward video I've seen on the topic.

just needed a quick refresher, perfect, thanks

Simple and efficient… Thanks for the tutorial! 🙏

Thanks this was very helpful. Especially showing that both the built-in and external monitors work, and how to orient them to make the mouse movement logical. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for this video! Saved me trying to set up a dual monitor school setup!

This video is very well explained thank you very much

nice and clean how to video.thank you.

Great job! Answered my questions

I use this dongle now for one of our Nintendo switches to travel with. Glad to know that this will work for my new Mac

I just set up an external monitor. Everything was simple. Thanks for walking me through this. I will make a note to my fellow goofballs: To mirror the screens you have to stack one over the other like you would playing cards.. Not over as in above. It took me a minute to process. 😅

Well done GNT - short and sweet, exactly what I needed to know.

I bought an Anker dongle then bought just a dongle that strictly has 5 USB ports since I needed way more for my setup. Good stuff!! Thanks for this 😁

thanks - so well explained!

Love your presentation !

Thanks. You saved me from frustration. It turns out order of operation matters! Plug in the USB-C first then the monitor.

If you connect a 4K tv with HDMI for streaming services like Netflix etc will you get full resolution and surround sound through the tv? Obviously the TV gets connected to a sound bar or home theatre. I use the Optical out for that.

big help

Thank you for this video! I have a unique situation I want to run by you. I have 3 thunderbolt displays that I'm trying to connect to an M2 Pro Mac mini. The first two displays run great off two of the USB-C ports in the back of the mini. The third display is supposed to be connected via the HDMI port. I've tried a couple of adapter, but so far nothing is working. Any suggestions?

Thank You! Super Helpful!

Thanks. I have a question: is there a convertor (from HDMI to USB C) that can be plugged into the monitor, to provide a USB C connection? This will make it easy for me to use my Mac Air M2 with my living room TV without carrying the dongle around with my Mac. (Hope you answer my question).

Good video - thanks!

Thanks! This was helpful

Nice video. I now have a Mac studio in addition to my m1 MacBook Pro. I currently have a 27" monitor connected to my Mac studio. I connected my MacBook Pro to my Mac studio for a second monitor. In the system preferences I can connect my MacBook pro but every time I wake them I have to reconnect my MacBook Pro and set the sound back to my Mac studio. Any thoughts how to fix this?

This worked, thank you!

Hi, Great video 👍. Exactly what I want to know.. but one important thing. Does that adaptor support output to 4K 60Hz from M1 MBA? I believe Apple Digital AV adapter does.

I have an iMac 2017 and im planning to buy the macbook pro 2024 if I want to use the iMac for display because of it size then wich cable will I need to connect? thank you : )

Thank you, Shane.

Hello. Is 8G RAM enough for a M1 MacBook Air to run effectively 2 screens? (build in + a 4k exernal) Thanks

Great help

Hello, I recently bought a macbookair M2, to connect it to my EizoCG223w equipped with DVI and DisplayPort ports I bought a USB-c -> Display port cable. Unfortunately the mac does not recognize the monitor the cable is not suitable. Can you recommend a cable that will surely solve my problem and avoid wasting money? Thanks for the support.

Can I close my laptop and work on the monitor, great video straight to the point. Thanks

Thank you for this

Bloody brilliant video. Thanks. Saved me a lot of tears to be honest. Have been able to have an ASUS Pro-art working with my M1 MacBook Air for the last 6 weeks, I do a software update on the Mac, then use my Mac on the job (so disconnected from the ASUS) and suddenly I couldn't use the ASUS screen when I reconnected. It would show an image of my mac's home screen but the mouse would only work on the Mac, not on the ASUS. I'd pull all the plugs, turn everything off and on, and then the mouse would work on the screen but couldn't open any apps as they're on the Mac, only faded out on the screen and unusable. Yes, it's impossible to explain so trying to get customer service over the phone or even via email wasn't working. I watched your video and learnt about how to mirror the screen etc. A little trial and error and then all of a sudden, it's working, you li'l rippa! Thanks heaps.

You are the goat shayne

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Hi thanks for the video, How about the quality of image on a secondary screen? I've connected an second screen and the image is poor.

Can you please tell difference between running external display on Macbook Air vs Mac Mini in terms of performance assuming both have M2 chip?

Thank you kind sir, you helped me figure this out at my job. It was such an easy process. I have finished one job without stressing out thanks to you.

​@@GeekyNerdyTechy: Hi, I have a MacBook Pro M1. Recently for no apparent reason the audible sound cuts out because it keeps on automatically switching the sound from the built in speakers to the headphones ..... even though no headphones are plugged in. What is wrong? What should I do to fix this?

Now can you do a video on doing this with monitors if different resolutions, such as 1080, 1440, 4K? All the current videos all seem focused on gaming monitors but all I need is general use and light weight video editing. Thanks

Hi, quick question. In the same configuration, is it possible to add a 3rd screen? Will the M1 Air allow it?

Thanks is a good device. With a similar device, I am able to connect the power source to my M2 device through the device, also able to connect an external monitor, but the device does not detect my external 4Tb hard drive. So I am unable to make a backup of my internal hard disk through Time Machine. Would appreciate if you can make a test of your device if you are able to do it.

I've got a superlight external monitor without power cord nor battery, so the power must come via the USB-C, will it work? (ASUS MB169C+) thank you so much for your time

Ahhh, thank you so much!

Which dongle would you recommend that does not yield to the one you displayed but also can read from a CD. The M1 doesn't have a place for a CD? Thanks.

What's the best adapter for an old VGA monitor?

👍🏽 thank you!

I have a brand new M2 14-inch MacBook Pro. I know if I plug it into my several-years-old 25-inch HP monitor, the image will probably be blurry because it's not HD and the MBP has a retina screen. But I want to try it-it won't do anything to hurt my MBP, will it? (The monitor looks very good when connected to a non-retina MacBook Pro.)

Thanks Sir!

Does the m1 through dmi cord run 60hz. and if so which monitor does that?

Does this also work for audio? I'm a teacher and I need to be able to use a second screen for both picture and audio. Any recommendations?
