Thunderbolt 2 and mini DisplayPort share the same physical connector and the port on your MacBook Air can speak both. Posted by Making You Bored For Science at 1:44 PM on February 23, 2019 I have a previous version of this Dell monitor and really like it. In terms of display recommendations, the wirecutter has good recommendations for 27' LCDs you probably want the 27n G2, which they describe as 'If you don't want (or can't use) 4K' given the Air's graphics processor.

I use a very similar setup at work, and am very happy with it.Ī quick glance at the spec sheet for your Air suggests it can run one external display, but probably not two.

If that's the right setup for you, I'd suggest a laptop stand to put the Air and its display at a better height relative to your other monitor. Ouke is exactly right about the first case: unless you need the two external displays, Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI is the easiest way to do what you want.

I can't quite tell from your question if you want two screens including the laptop's built-in display, or if you're wondering if your Air can drive two external displays in addition to the internal display.
