I have a EliteBook x360 103 G2 - Product No: IWB83AV.
I have bought a Dell monitor which has a USB-C input, and came with a USB-C to USB-C cable.
The intention was to be able to connect the laptop to the monitor with the single USB-C cable to use the monitor whilst also charging the Laptop.
So far, I have been unable to receive a video output on the monitor.
When I connect the monitor via the USB C cable, I am able to "see it" as an option in the Display Settings, but when I try to output to it, the settings just revert back to "in built display".
Before connecting the USB-C cable connected to the monitor:
After a connect the USB-C, option to Extend or Clone the display:
But if I select the options above, and "apply", it reverts back to to single display:
This is what I can find about the laptops capabilities:
The EliteBook x360 1030 G2 is the commercial version of the Spectre and is a convertible notebook geared towards enterprise users.
It has a single Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C port which supports:
- Thunderbolt 3 (40 Gb/s)
- USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s)
- DisplayPort 1.2
- USB Power Delivery based charging in both directions
When connected, the monitor is charging the laptop.
I connected the laptop to the monitor via the HDMI port, and that worked fine.
This isn't ideal though, as I will then need to plug in the laptop to charge (I was looking for a nice simple one cable solution), and I want to connect my desktop PC to the monitor via HDMI without having to disconnect cables each time.
Can someone confirm that I should be able to connect the laptop and monitor with a single USB-C to USB-C cable, and suggest why it's not working for me?
Cheers.
