Re: USB-C monitors

Just be aware that if you are looking at 4k monitors ; you will be likely
be limited to 30hz refresh rate via most adaptors using DP mode over USBC.

Thunderbolt3 and 4 can do 4kp60 as can DP 1.4 - but there are various
factors involved including the adaptors SoC, your GPU/Motherboard output.
Things can definitely go pear shaped if you are doing anything over 1080p.

Hi,

My experience is the same as Peter's.  No problem with various adapters
USB-C to HDMI, in my case at 4k both 30Hz and 60Hz.

I had no luck with DisplayPort output on a couple of docking stations.

Will try next week with a direct cable USB-C to DP and will be able to
report on that.

Cheers,
Paco.

Hi Peter,

thanks for your prompt response. I believe it should work (it is
actually a usb-c monitor, no usb-c to hdmi adapter needed).
Nevertheless I'll just take my laptop to the store and try it, just to
be sure it really works.

Thanks again

Jan

Yes, I've used that with a couple different monitors, and a handful
of usb-c to hdmi adapters.  All worked fine, and behaved just like
normal hdmi/dvi/vga monitors.

Power delivery and usb also worked as expected.

USB-C monitors

Hi guys,

I am on -current and considering to purchase a USB-C monitor (power
delivery to my Thinkpad over one cable).
Do USB-C dislplays work on OpenBSD?

Thanks in advance
