Using USB-c to HDMI connector on my laptop

[VFPete]

I am thinking of buying a SAMSUNG 32 inch UJ59 4k monitor (LU32J590UQNXZA) - UHD, 3840 x 2160p, 60hz, 4ms monitor as an external monitor for my laptop. I understand that the HDMI port on my laptop can only support it at 30 Hz. 

Can I use a USB-C to HDMI connector to connect to the monitor? As I understand I can get 60Hz using this approach. 

My other option is to go for a LG 34WK650-W 34" UltraWide 21:9 IPS Monitor with HDR10 and FreeSync (2018). But it is not 4K.

Thanks.

HP does not list all information of your machine

               https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=4P5Z0UA

Therefore I can't find its USB-C specs because all USB-C parts are not the same. You have to wait few more weeks for HP to update documents and currently the server is down.

@Banhein,

Thanks for all your help. I noticed this page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-14-inch-laptop-pc-14-d4000/2100852819/model/2100892846/docum...

However, I do not see enough info to confirm that USB Type-C can support USB-HDMI adapter. 

Thanks,

VFPete

@VFPete 

Its specs shows it ONLY has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C® 5Gbps signaling rate port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

• Charge your machine,
• Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only), you can use

   Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable

   Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                     USB to HDMI Adapter

For more connectivity, please use

        True Universal Docking Stations
