About this deal
Splitters are supported in DisplayPort connections, for example, which will allow you to use one port on the laptop to connect a number of monitors, although this isn’t a very economical way to do it since it might be a bit expensive.
Dust or dirt inside the USB port on your device prevented the charger from being inserted correctly. As technology continues to progress and new standards are created, it’s becoming more frequent to find difficulties in achieving the result you want. This also applies to monitors. The everyday, casual, user might not be familiar with USB-C, DisplayPort, or HDMI, and it’s not always clear for them. Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports the correct Alternate Mode. For example, a DisplayPort Alternate Mode adapter should be connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Make sure the USB-C connector on the adapter is securely plugged into the USB-C port on your Surface. Now, you may be wondering, if USB-C is supposed to replace everything else, why it’s not even more common. The answer comes, once again, from manufacturers playing fast and loose with the standard.Make sure your PC (or phone), the external display, and the cable all support DisplayPort or MHL alternate modes.
Some systems will use a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port to output video to an external display. Use the instructions below to configure your system to output video to an external display.
The HDMI Alternate Mode lets you project video and play audio on an external display that supports HDMI.
