Use external monitors with your Mac - Apple Support


Check the ports on your Mac to find out whether you need an adapter

Turn off your MacBook and the Dell monitor

Turn on the Dell monitor, and then turn on your MacBook. The images from your desktop should display on the Dell monitor automatically. If this doesn’t happen, press the “F7” key to turn on Video Mirroring
