Hi wdl1001,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

You can connect an external display to the Thunderbolt port (or Mini Displayport, on older models) of your Mac. This article has some information to help you identify the display port on your Mac:

You may need to use an adapter to connect your display to your Mac. This article has more information about Apple video adapters:

Once your display is connected to your Mac, you can configure it using the Displays section of System Preferences. See this article for more information:
