MacBook Air with external monitor

MacBook Air (M1, 2020) - Technical Specifications

Your MacBook Air supports a single external monitor. But it is compatible with a very wide range of monitors:

--------------------

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and: 

• One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

Thunderbolt 3 digital video output

• Native DisplayPort output over USB-C
• VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)

--------------------

For most displays with resolutions of up to 4K, you would use USB-C (DisplayPort).

Some monitors accept USB-C input – you can hook up video output and downstream ports on the monitor, and charge your laptop, over a single USB-C cable.

You can get adapters that go from USB-C to DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, single-link DVI, dual-link DVI, even VGA. In many cases you can get adapter cables that don't take up any more room in your laptop bag than HDMI-to-HDMI or Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables would. (These are a dime a dozen on Amazon.)

For 5K and 6K displays, you would use Thunderbolt (and short, high-quality Thunderbolt cables). Thunderbolt is capable of carrying more data than "plain" USB-C, and high-resolution 5K and 6K displays (like the 27" Apple 5K Studio Display and 32" Apple 6K Pro Display XDR) need more data than lower-resolution displays do.

Is this the monitor?

HP describes it as having 1920x1080 resolution, and accepting VGA, DVI, and DisplayPort input. The refresh rate is 60 Hz.

If that's the monitor, I'd think that a M1 MacBook Air would have no problem driving it.
