Hello, I am planning to cennect it via this cable too. I am aware that it can only output max of 4 resolution. Have you tried connecting it in higher res. Monitor? Ultrawide? They have >4k resolution. And if the monitor has usb c port- you wont need a usb-to hdmi port

You don't need an adapter if your monitor has a USB-C video input.
You just need the USB-C video output and a USB- C cable with a ferrite core.

Hey, I have a really important question, Previously I had bought two cords, a usb-c to hdmi and a usb-c to vga adapter, and neither of them worked in connecting to my second monitor. Now im thinking about getting a hdmi splitter or a usb-a to hdmi. Please let me know. My laptop is an Asus Vivobook S14.

Do I get dual monitor or just 1 screen when I use the type c connection?

I love the way that Lenovo never really answers the questions of the customers, all they do is create problems or release products and never support it afterwards, it's a crazy business scheme and it's surely going to take them down within no time at all... Hey OP, how about you attend to the questions below eh? These unresolved issues...

I am using a USB c to hdmi cable but it will not work, why ? What does the adapter do that a cable doesn't ?

[amirfayazi]

My laptop (asus vivobook 15) has one HDMI port, 3 USB ports, and USB-C that doesn't support DisplayPort. What can I do to extend it to two screens(monitors)?

[kinocchio]

Can you connect to an external display with USB c cable if the display supports it. Also would this charge the laptop as well?
