I got the mac book pro 2019 16 inch model and bought a dell monitor for a dual monitor setup. Which usb/type c to hdmi cable or adapter do you recommend? Any reliable one and affordable?

do you have issue with fan noise when u connect to external monitor?

Mine seems to have even with minor usage.

Yes, this is due to the CPU usage was very high on WindowServer which draws picture on the screen. If you attached 2 external monitor, the entire MAC will slow down like turtle.

So this is consider "normal" behavior by Mac. Is there any way I can rectify this issue if I want to use mac with an external. monitor?

Go Google and there are many complaints. Most problem is the OS + Hardware limitation.

I tested it with my dell monitor, just leaving it idling will generate fan noise after couple of minutes. Tried using another monitor also same issue. Tried changing to usb to hdmi adapter still same problem....

The external monitor is 4K ? or 1080p?
