Best way to connect MacBook Pro to external display? – Info Mac

Just bought a new MacBook Pro 2018 15″ and a LG 4k monitor with 2 hdmi ports and 1 dp ports. There might be several options as to how to connect the two of them. I wonder are there any performance differences between them if I want to get the best out of it?

1. a USB-C to HDMI adapter + a HDMI to HDMI cable

2. a USB-C to HDMI cable

3. a USB-C to DP cable
