Any time you post a question for help, please include the system information about your computer this way:

Please open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your computer's information should come up in the right pane. Click the Copy button and then paste the results into a reply window here so we can see how Linux Mint views your hardware.

Have you tried connecting the monitor to the computer yet? That will be the best way to find out. Mint is pretty good at handling different monitors if you have the correct graphics driver which should load automatically when Mint is booted.

The System Information will tell us if your graphics driver is loaded properly.

Looks like your graphics driver is fine. I notice that you have the monitor connected. Is it working ok?
