Macbook Air M1 to external monitor query

[sagarich]

I've just replaced my trust 2014 MBP with a new MBA M1 and forgot that it's a USB-C future.

What cable adaptor do I need to run a Dell UltraSharp 25 Monitor "U2515H" in clamshell mode with minimal quality loss? Amazon is bringing up lots of options, but conflicting info or iffy reviews.

Monitor connectivity:

2 HDMI(MHL) connector
1 Mini DisplayPort
1 DisplayPort (version 1.2)
1 DisplayPort out (MST)
1 Audio Line out (connect your speakers)
5 USB 3.0 ports - Downstream (4 at the back, 1 with battery charging)
1 USB 3.0 port - Upstream

Use one of these on my desk at home

It will allow you to connect to the monitor VIA HDMI, it will also give you 2x USB3 ports and SD card reader and a LAN port. I have the monitor and webcam running through this and it works really well.

When I am out on the road (LOL) visiting customers I have something similar to this

It will allow you to plug into a TV/projector using HDMI, its also a small and cheap option.

You will also need a HDMI cable to go from either adaptor to the monitor unless you already have one.
