I have an old late 2012 aapl imac version 10.14.6 (21.5 inch, late 2012)... I want to use that monitor as a second display... what cords / displays ports would be best to hook up to my macbook pro (MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports). I am already using one connection to a ViewSonic display. Thx!
