Monitors with USB-C input

USB C (DisplayPort Alt Mode)

— USB-C type input for video signal transmission to the monitor.

One of the features of video via USB (regardless of the type of connector) is that such connection does not require separate graphics card. It can also come in handy if all of your computer's specialized video outputs are occupied or not compatible with the monitor's inputs. Specifically, USB-C is relatively new type of connector used in both compact and stationary technology. It is noticeably smaller than USB A or B, and it also has reversible design that allows you to connect the plug in either direction. It is also worth noting that this type of connector is used to connect the v3 version of the Thunderbolt interface (see the relevant paragraph), and in some models the same socket is responsible for both the Thunderbolt connection and USB-C itself.
