Im trying to hook up an Acer 1080p monitor to my 2016 Macbook, but its not picking it up. I hook up the HDMI cable and it wont show up in the display settings on the Macbook.

Im using:

Is there any way that I can get this current set-up to work? Do I just need to by the Apple adapter and not a third party one? Should I switch to DVI?

This is my first post so bear with me. Thanks
