Not sure what adaptor i need to connect the video out to my USB C video on on my new Mac Book Air M2. The video out has a video screen icon on it (not a lightening bolt) too I cannot tell if it is a thunderbolt or mini-display plug...they look the same
Hello Laguna Jeff,
Based on your description it sounds like you have a LED Cinema Display (27-inch), which has a Mini DisplayPort connection: LED Cinema Display (27-inch) - Technical Specifications
Additionally, Apple's Mini DisplayPort adapters aren't compatible with Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter. This resource has more details: About the Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters - Apple Support
So you would need to connect your display to a Mac with a native Mini DisplayPort to ensure compatibility.
Hopefully that addresses your inquiry.
Take care.

Thank you so much! Guess I am out of luck and will need to sell my monitor. The new Samsung thunderbolt monitor J791 should work. It has a USB 3 cable to connect and power my Air
