x17 R1, connecting to AW2720HF

Hello All,

I have an Alienware X17R1 laptop, and recently bought an AW2720HF monitor.

I am trying to figure out how to connect the monitor to the laptop to ensure I am getting the best performance possible.

The AW2720HF came with a DisplayPort cable, and I would have assumed that my laptop would have a DisplayPort connector built it, but it does not. It has a Thunderbolt 4 port.

So apparently what I need is some sort of adapter that converts Thunderbolt to DisplayPort?

Additionally, my Alienware keyboard, headphones and mouse are all USB. So whatever solution I end up with needs at least three USB ports as well.

Any and all advice is most welcome.

Cost is not really a factor.

Thanks in advance for your help!
