Hi there. To connect the LG 49" Curved UltraGear™ DQHD 1ms 240Hz Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR™ 1000 (Model #49GR85DC) to your MacBook, it is unlikely that you can use a USB Type-B to USB-C cable. The USB Type-B port on the monitor is typically used as an upstream port to connect the monitor to a computer and enable the USB hub on the monitor to communicate with devices plugged into its USB ports. Instead, you will likely need to use an HDMI or DisplayPort cable, depending on the available ports on your MacBook. If your MacBook has a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, you may be able to use a USB-C to DisplayPort cable for a direct connection. However, this will depend on the specific capabilities of your MacBook and the availability of DisplayPort support through its USB-C port. `Alice
