Hello Consult58,
Thanks for reaching out! I love getting to use an external monitor with my MacBook Air. I know when I can’t see the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Display this tells me that my MacBook Air is not recognizing my external monitor. You are likely using an adapter with your MacBook Air. The type of adapter you’re using depends on which model of MacBook Air you have. Follow these steps:
1 - Determine which model of MacBook Air you have: Identify your MacBook Air model.
2 - Use the Technical Specifications page for your model MacBook Air to determine the type of adapter you need to connect your external display.
3 - Check out this page for help with the different types of Adapters: Apple video adapters and cables.
4 - Once you're certain that the adapter is correct for your MacBook Air, try restarting it by going to the Apple Menu (top left corner) > Restart.
