Product Information

Make sure the USB-C connector on the adapter is securely plugged into the USB-C port on your Surface. DisplayPort over USB-C Learn about DisplayPort over USB Type-C, also called USB-C and it's advantages. Find information about how to identify if the USB Type-C port on your PC supports DisplayPort technology. Summary:

Ports: 6x USB 3.0 ports, 2 x DisplayPort, 2 HDMI port, 1 x USB-C, 1 x Gigabit Ethernet, 1 x Audio out, 1 x Mic-in Dust or dirt inside the USB port on your device prevented the charger from being inserted correctly. The best part about DisplayPort connections is that the higher bandwidth ensures almost no compression, especially when it comes to high-resolution content. Make sure your PC (or phone), the external display, and the cable all support DisplayPort or MHL alternate modes.All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location. Note: This applies to all the error codes shown in Device Manager except error Code 28 (drivers for the device aren’t installed).

At the end of the day, USB-C over DisplayPort offers a convenient alternative to many previous display interfaces. With DisplayPort 2.0 set to become more supported in consumer devices, using a USB-C cable rather than a specific DisplayPort cable will be a great, user-friendly addition. And I also bought the following cable in the hopes that I could use it to connect to the monitor from my PC (using gtx 1080 -- it doesn't have type-c -- only display port and hdmi). Notes: USB Type-C has a new feature called Alternate Modes which allows you to use non-USB connections with the USB-C cable and connection. There's no setting to turn on—your device automatically uses the appropriate mode if it's supported. Here are the display Alternate Modes that your cable may support: The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.The Alternate Mode feature must be supported on the PC or phone's hardware and software, and the connected device or dongle. You might also need a specific USB-C cable. This USB port doesn't support DisplayPort or Thunderbolt or MHL. Plug the USB device into a different USB port on your PC. On the other hand, adapters offer more flexibility when connecting USB-C devices to DisplayPort displays. They are available in various sizes and shapes and are generally more affordable than cables. Adapters can support higher resolutions and color spaces, such as 8K@60Hz UHD. Chargers that don't have a standard USB Type-C connector might use a proprietary, nonstandard connector that your PC doesn’t support.

The MHL Alternate Mode lets you project video and play audio on an external display that supports MHL. For USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort over USB-C cables can provide up to 100 watts. This is convenient for laptop users, as it's possible to maintain your laptop's charge via the connection to the monitor, meaning it's unnecessary to drag the charger around with you.

Bus Type

This means all the technical aspects of USB-C DisplayPort over Alt Mode mirror those of regular DisplayPort 1.4. With display stream compression, it's theoretically possible to get an 8K signal at 60 frames with 10-bit color, or an uncompressed 4K 8-bit signal at 120Hz. Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC (or phone) that supports the correct Alternate Mode. For example, if you're connecting a Thunderbolt Alternate Mode device, make sure you connect to the USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt.
