I can't connect my MacBook Pro with P2422H dell

I just got a MacBook Pro, brand new, from work for a remote position. They also sent me a Dell P2322H - I assume to assist me in completing my assigned tasks. I cannot find a way to connect the two. I am currently using a new Baseus 9 in 1 docking station to connect, but the P2422H gives an error code of "No VGA Cable". However, I cannot identify a way to reconfigure that will resolve the error. Please advise.

get off analog VGA and run a Certified HDMI cable to the display.


HDMI cables you want for HDMI-only Displays (higher resolutions than 720p TV sets) are marked as Certified with an anti-counterfeiting tag and are labeled:


"Premium High Speed HDMI cable" or that + "with Ethernet" --OR--

"Ultra High Speed HDMI cable" or that + "48G"


Cables with No Certification tags are good for your standard 720p TV set, and not much more.


HDMI was invented for HD TV sets. it works great at its original resolution of 720i or 720p. At higher resolutions, it quickly develops issues that are complex to solve, and the cables and adapters required to solve are NOT intuitive.
