3. I ended up getting this:

It worked.. "OK", niot great, my main complaint is that the USB-C connection is a hit or miss, it worked on an Android phone for example,
but
it did not work on my souped up Dell/Windows laptop, and the support response is "just use USB-C for power and use the HDMI for display". Yup, it's going back.
The display specs say: Input Interface: Mini HD(Video Signal), Type-C Full Function(Video Data, Power Supply ISDN),
I don't know what Mini HD is, but I would guess that it is really Mini HDMI. < https://www.howtogeek.com/745530/hdmi-vs-mini-hdmi-vs-micro-hdmi-whats-the-d...
Mini HDMI isn't that common. I think Raspberry Pi uses it.
USB 3.x can and often does support Power Delivery, and DisplayPort at the same time.
If your computer is new enough, you only need a USB C male-to-male cab.
If not, you need a Mini HDMI cable and a USB C charger.
Or did I misunderstand somehting? --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
Nope you got it, the usb-c to my laptop didn’t even detect a device. And my laptop is really top of the line, we get what we call “engineering laptops” from Dell, mine is not even a year old. I could technically get a usb-c to hdmi adapter, but I was hoping for a single cable a la thunderbolt. I’ll check in later if I find something that works
