USB Type-C & HDMI

[CurtisJackson]

Hi, I have a few questions about this notebook.

1) Judging by the characteristics, it has USB 3.1 Type-C Gen 1. Will the monitor work via a Type-C to HDMI adapter?

2) Is it possible to use 2 (3) external monitor + main laptop screen

3) Will it normally support 4K from both an adapter and an HDMI connector?

4) Is it possible to charge via Type-C?

P.S. sorry for my English=)

Hello @CurtisJackson,

I regret to inform you that this laptop's USB-C port is not designed for display output. It's essentially a conventional USB A port allowing a charge to other connected devices, such as your phone, but nothing else.

The laptop's Specifications and Maintenance and Service Guide don't indicate anything to support the fact that it will support display output.

If you truly wish to achieve a dual monitor setup, you can opt for something like this USB 3.0 to HDMI adapter which several members of the forum have indicated compatibility. Note that these types of solutions may be a bit unstable.

Best regards,

Eddy
