did you order the adapter?

Is this your laptop: https://www.ipearl-inc.com/dell-xps15/xps-15-9550-laptop_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

Looking at the specs, it does support external display.

Not just sure if...

Do you see this option on your laptop?

The one I linked was also 4K.

Here I have a 1920x1080 laptop extended to 3440x1440 monitor. The laptop detected the native resolution of the bigger monitor. I am assuming it will be the same with the adapter.

I meant if you are getting the adapter with Type-C, HDMI and USB, just try to use one at a time.

It's mexican peso. 400M$ is around 20USD. :)
Otherwise he is better off buying a second laptop...

This is how 1920x1200 looks on my 3440x1440 monitor. It has black borders on both sides.

Whatever you want to get, it's up to you. But you don't wanna use HDMI and another port at the same time. It will affect the video performance.
When I said it should work, I based it on my own...

Are you worrying about if it will not work at all? Or just worried that you will be limited to 1920x1080? You are just trying to salvage and put an old monitor to a good use. The worst thing will...

Just go with the straightforward solution. This one:...

Edit.

Usually, the system detects the resolution of the monitor so you will have the option to choose the recommended resolution...

so then your best bet should be USB-C to HDMI. It will be fine with videos compared to USB 2.0. But both will work. Then 6 feet HDMI cable should be fine. Don't worry about resolution if your...

All this time, we were talking about usb to video adapter. We are just trying to figure out what type of USB and video ports available to you and you still did not answer that question.

As I said, you need a usb-to-video adapter. You have to check what USB type your laptop has, and what video port your monitor can take. That is for you to answer, not me.

If your laptop has a USB-C and your monitor has a displayport, then get that one. My suggestion is what kind of adapter that you will need. But it is up to you to check what type of ports are...

I am not saying your graphics card is bad. The problem is there is no way you can connect 2 monitors directly to your laptop's GPU. If you use a USB to run another monitor, the GPU has nothing to do...

You need to know what ports are available on your monitor. I am guessing that since it is an old monitor, it may not have a displayport. My best guess is HDMI (but you can also use DVI or VGA.......
