Thunder Bolt 2 to USB C for Monitor connection.

Will a 2012 mac book pro with thunderbolt 2 connect to a LG32UN880 with the Thunderbolt 2 to usb c adapter and cable. I realize that the best resolution I can get is 2160x1440 but that will suffice until I get a new Mac planned for the next couple of months. I am operating right now using Thunderbolt 2 to HDMI on the LG monitor, best I can do is 1080P, hoping I can get the resolution to 2160X1440 as an interim solution for now. Thanks for your answers, greatly appreciated.

There is no need to chase after USB-C adapters:


  • HDMI Yes x 2
  • DisplayPort Yes x 1
  • USB Type-C Yes



On a Mac with a ThunderBolt-2 port, a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable will plug right in and work for cheap, no conversion required!
