Hardware & compatibility checklist
- Confirm USB-C video support. Check that your USB-C port supports video output, often called DisplayPort Alt Mode or full-featured USB-C.
- Plan the power connection. Mini HDMI carries video only; the monitor must also receive power through USB-C.
- Allow for adapters. Some devices require an adapter or an additional power connection.
- Check your exact device. Compatibility depends on the device model, port capability, operating system, cable and adapter.
