The XPS 13 uses Thunderbolt 3  port to connect a monitor.

'Dell provides a Thunderbolt 3 port on the XPS 13, allowing you to connect an external monitor that supports USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.
If you have an external monitor that supports HDMI, you can use the Dell USB-C to HDMI Adapter to connect the monitor to your XPS 13.

Seems thunderbolt technology makes it an expensive upgrade, but a monitor that supports USB-C
seems more reasonable.

Come on down to Dallas Love Field, as our controllers show you the Love at Dallas Love!
