Dedicated graphic card disabled - How to connect external monitor?

Hi,

I’m searching for options to connect an external monitor (min resolution 1920x1080, fast refresh not needed) to my MacBook Pro 15” 8,2 Late 2011.

I disabled dedicated GPU via hardware fix, so any Thunderbolt to video adapter doesn’t work.

I checked USB Displaylink adapters, but I’d like to know other viable options before buying.

Any hint will be really appreciated, thanks!

No hints, external monitor is controlled by the dedicated GPU, if that’s disabled say goodbye to the chance to drive the image outside of your Mac.
