You will need something like this:

You may find less expensive ones if you do an Internet search.

Thanks for the response.

I have attached the adapter to the Mac and the monitor to the adapter. Nothing on the monitor but the "Self Test color bars.

What next?

Monitors are not an area of my strength, but look at these two Apple support articles:

Good food for thought.

I will keep working on the problem. Your advice opened more avenues to explore.
