Laptop with built-in monitor connected via USB-C port
You can try connecting a display directly to the USB-C port and see if it works. Some desktop mobos support USB-C displays, though it depends on the model and firmware. Check your specific model’s manual or manufacturer site for details.
Based on my observations, I attempted to connect my monitor via a Type-C port on the motherboard with an integrated GPU. It didn’t work. With an iGPU, it seems the system needs a clear "with display pass through" instruction. I haven’t found any standard Type-C ports that support this feature beyond specialized boards with DP passthrough capabilities.
Thanks for the details! I’m planning to give it a try and hope it works smoothly. The product offers useful options like a USB-A to USB-C converter or a micro HDMI connection. What type of USB-C display are you using?
im using some cheap china stuff (not cheap at all tbh) the model number is P15AT, many "company" carries it. it comes in a box without any brand name (very generic box), 15.6inch IPS with matte surface it cost around $100 for the base model without touch, $180 with touch. also has optional battery (which i opted out, because battery can cause issues. i'd rather use power banks) it has mini HDMI for input, a type-C for power(and touch signal), and a micro USB for power(and touch? i never used micro usb on it) it also have a 2nd type C cable to carry power, display, and touch signal, all in 1 cable. it works fine on my type-C port on my GPU, but not my motherboard. the asus model just looks overpriced lol. though you do get a reputable company to speak to if something isnt right with it.
