Q: QuestionCan a laptop alone power the monitor using the USB-C ports?

Asked 10 months ago by CS.

• A:Answer Yes, a laptop can power the Acer PM161Q monitor if the laptop supports USB 3.1 video output. The PM161Q monitor is only compatible with devices that support USB 3.1 video output. When connected to a USB-C port that supports video output, the monitor should automatically detect and display the image from the connected device. If your monitor is not displaying a signal, please ensure it is connected to a device that supports video output via USB-C. These ports are often labeled with icons such as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt.
