Connect a display, TV, or projector to Mac

You can connect your Mac to a display, TV, or projector using one or more of these options.

  • Connect a display to a USB-C port: Use a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable to connect the display to the USB-C port on your Mac. For older displays, use a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter or a USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter to connect the display to the USB-C port on your Mac.

  • Connect a display, TV, or projector that has an HDMI connector: Plug the cable directly into the HDMI port on your Mac. For more information about connecting a TV, see Use your TV as a display with Mac.

  • Connect a display or projector that has a VGA connector: Use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect the display to the Thunderbolt port on your Mac.

  • Connect a display to a Mini DisplayPort: Plug the display’s cable directly into the Mini DisplayPort on your Mac.

  • Connect an Apple Thunderbolt Display: Plug the display’s cable directly into the Thunderbolt port on your Mac. For newer Mac computers, use a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect the display to your Mac.

  • Connect an Apple LED Cinema Display: Plug the display’s cable directly into the Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 2 port on your Mac. For newer Mac computers, use a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter to connect the display to your Mac.

If your display uses a video port that’s not available on your Mac, you may be able to use an adapter to connect your display.
