Hi
Can i use it with the Dell S2722QC and my MB air m3? Does it also charge and deliver sound?
I’ve currently connected my mb air m2 over the apple usb c cable with the Dell S2722QC and have only 2 hdmi ports available.
To determine if the Delock Thunderbolt 3 / USB Type C — HDMI (Type A) cable is compatible with your setup, here are the key points to consider:
## Compatibility with Dell S2722QC and MacBook Air M3 - The Dell S2722QC monitor supports USB Type-C connectivity, which can carry video, data, and power. However, the Delock cable you mentioned is a Thunderbolt 3 / USB Type C to HDMI (Type A) cable, which does not match the monitor's USB Type-C port for direct video and power delivery.
## Charging and Sound Delivery - The Delock cable is designed to convert a Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C port to an HDMI port, but it does not support power delivery or audio transmission through the HDMI connection. For charging, you would need a cable that supports USB Power Delivery (PD), which the Delock cable does not provide. For sound, the Dell S2722QC has built-in speakers, but the Delock cable itself does not facilitate audio transmission.
## Current Setup - Since you are currently using an Apple USB-C cable with your MacBook Air M2 and Dell S2722QC, and you have only two HDMI ports available, switching to the Delock cable would not be beneficial for your needs. The Apple USB-C cable is likely providing the necessary video and power connection directly to the monitor.
In summary, the Delock Thunderbolt 3 / USB Type C — HDMI (Type A) cable is not suitable for your current setup as it does not support power delivery or audio transmission, and it does not match the direct USB Type-C connectivity required by the Dell S2722QC monitor. You should continue using the Apple USB-C cable for optimal functionality.
