Specs for the whole series says all machines have the following ports:

 

VGA (Dsub 15 pin) supporting 1920 x 1200 external resolution @ 60Hz; hot plug/unplug and auto detect
USB 3.1 Gen 1 charging port
USB 3.1 Gen 1 port
USB Type-C (basic)
DisplayPort
RJ-45
Docking connector
Audio-out (headphone)/audio-in (microphone) combo jack
AC port

 

As you can see, USB-C is a basic port which does not support video out. Please use Display port instead. I believe your monitor only has USB-C port. Sorry I can't find a suitable and fully compatible adapter for you.

 

Regards.
