You might have to press a key or click your mouse to wake the external display. To use your Mac with the display closed, you need to connect your power adapter or connect an external display that also charges your Mac, such as the Apple Studio Display or 23.7-inch LG UltraFine 4K Display.
Yes, it is possible to close your MacBook's lid and still be able to use it. And this is especially useful if you have an issue with your MacBook's screen or you want to convert your MacBook into a desktop. Of course, you'll need an external display for this to see what's happening on your MacBook.
You can now close your laptop lid while still using your external monitor, regardless of whether or not your laptop is plugged in to a charger. Note that we recommend plugging your laptop in while using an external monitor so that you don't have to worry about the battery draining while you use your workstation.
