The existing monitor cables for my new Mac Studio are a no go.

Can somebody tell me what cables and or adapters I need for 2x monitors or better yet, link it?

These are NEC MultiSync PA302w (pics of the factory cables shown)

Thanks!

USB-C to DisplayPort is all you need for the video signal.


DVI is outdated. And that’s USB-A with 2.0 speeds, pretty slow and outdated these days. But if you want to use the USB hub in the monitor you can hook it up to the USB-A ports, you just sacrifice a superspeed 3.0 port to do so.

Thanks JayTV11, much appreciated. I found a USB-C to display port cable at a local store this AM. I have just one monitor hooked up, and it's giving me video signal, but it flickers. Any ideas?

You’ll have to check the display’s settings and the Mac’s settings. The Mac may be sending a signal that’s too high resolution for the monitor, or the refresh rate is too high.
