More Information: What is this monitor? How does it work?
This display is a large monitor for your computer.
There may be a computer installed between the monitor and the wall.
This display is not a TV and cannot accept a television signal.
Due to this fact, this guide will call this display a monitor.
This monitor has HDMI inputs and one USB-C input.
The USB-C input uses the USB-C connector but does not carry a USB signal.
This monitor acts as a USB Hub.
Can send peripheral devices to multiple host devices.
How does this monitor handle USB?
The USB-C input
Looking at the back of the monitor, you will see a standard USB-C port with a DP, or “DisplayPort”, label. Although this is a regular USB-C connector, the monitor is looking for a specific signal to come down the USB-C cable.
On the other end of the cable, your laptop will plug into the USB-C cable and briefly communicate with the monitor. They will agree that your laptop should send only a video signal down the cable and nothing more. This brief communication, called a handshake, allows your laptop to use its USB-C connection for multiple purposes.
USB Hub
| Tip |
|---|
A “hub” combines many inputs and sends them to one output. The presence of this USB Hub built into the monitor allows you to use your USB devices with whichever device you are viewing on the screen. |
Looking at the back of the monitor, you will see four USB-A ports. These are the rectangular connectors you are likely familiar with. You will plug your peripherals into these ports, such as cameras, microphones, mice, and keyboards.
You will also see three USB-B ports above the USB-A ports. These B ports act as “downlinks” to the host devices. You will plug your computer and laptop into these downlink ports. Each downlink (USB-B) is associated with the HDMI port closest to it. Therefore, one you are using Input 1 on the monitor, the monitor will send all the peripheral devices out the top downlink port. When you are viewing input two, your peripherals will be sent out the USB-B port second from the top. The third, fourth, and full-size DisplayPort connector all share the third USB downlink.
