    The USB-C port with Thunderbolt would be best, DVI port if you have one is digital too like HDMI.

    Hi @Paully according to the service manual, your computer has a mini Display Port (mDP) port, which would be another alternative to use as a video output for a second monitor.
    Can you confirm if you actually have that port?
    I leave you screenshots of the information that appears in the service manual and the type of cable, logically this output is valid if the monitor also has a normal Display Port (DP) port.

    All the best.
