What cable do I need to hook up the Dell monitor on late 2013 Macbook Pro? I only have two thunderbolt connections and an HDMI. Thanks

A:

Is there a menu on the monitor to switch input? If so you will need to ensure the selected input is HDMI if you are using HDMI.

You did not say in your OP that the monitor had a display port input. But if it also has an HDMI port that should work. Does your computer see the monitor? What OS do you have? Get help with video issues on external displays connected to your Mac - Apple Support

Sorry. My laptop sees the monitor. Settings will give me the option to arrange my monitor windows when i plug in the HDMI cable to both. I will check out the link. Dell's only support for monitors to macs is a 2007 link. Thanks for the help.
