I just want to double check before I look at making any purchases.

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) which is TB2. If I were to purchase an LG display that has TBH input, as long as I am using Sierra (which I am) and I correct in thinking that the Apple thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter would work fine?

I've read the below on the Apple support pages;

Using the adapter with your Mac that has Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports
Your Mac must be running macOS Sierra to work with the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.

You can use the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter to connect your Mac with Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 ports to these devices:

  • Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) self-powered devices, such as Thunderbolt 3 displays and Thunderbolt 3 self-powered hard drives
  • Mac computers that have Thunderbolt 3
The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter doesn't support connections to these devices:

  • Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) bus-powered devices
  • USB-C devices, displays, and adapters that don't have Thunderbolt
  • MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) and later
