[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1914322, member: 190607"] If you are correct that the USB-C input on your monitor doesn't support Thunderbolt (and I find it a bit hard to believe), then I would instead use a Thunderbolt 3/4 to HDMI adapter to connect to the HDMI input of the monitor to get best performance. Something like this: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BZKCB7V/?tag=macforums0e4-20[/URL] Well, when you are talking about an Apple Studio monitor, you are talking about a very high-end $1,600 monitor. Do you really need such an expensive monitor? I can point you to a similar 4K monitor for a fraction of the price, and only a very few folks would even be able to notice the difference in picture quality. Are you a graphics professional? Otherwise, I think that you are just looking to throw money away needlessly. Have a look at this monitor: ASUS VP28UQG 28" 4K/UHD 3840x2160 1ms DP HDMI Adaptive Sync/FreeSync Eye Care Monitor $255 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
