Product: HP ENVY x360 15-bp106na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

The specs for this laptop show:

USB 3.1 Type-C™ Gen 1 (Data Transfer up to 5 Gb/s, DP1.2, HP Sleep and Charge)

 

Is this safe to use with a USB-C/HDMI cable to a monitor?

 

I am concerned because on another post Curtis Jackson states for a similar laptop in October 2018, 

"I regret to inform you that this laptop's USB-C port is not designed for display output."
