[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1939345, member: 190607"] USB 3.1 Gen 2 = USB 3.1 = SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps = 10Gbps So you have made the correct choice as far as specifications. However, I'm not sure that your Mac supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 specifically. I've heard of instances where users' Macs apparently don't support that specification. Your BenQ GW2485TC also has DisplayPort and HDMI inputs. Going with a Thunderbolt 3/4 to either DisplayPort or HDMI adapter might have been a better bet for getting the highest resolution that your monitor is capable of. This adapter has been a really reliable one for Mac users (paired with an HDMI 2.1 cable): [URL code="true"]https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-uni-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B075V68NVR/ref=psdc_306629011_t1_B07THJGZ9Z?th=1 [/URL] [/QUOTE]
