Portable USB-C monitor with desktop?

[dLife_dt]

I have an SFF PC (ASRock B550 ITX + EVGA RTX 1060 6gb) and need to do some travels with.

 

Is there any way I can connect it to my Dell 14 Portable Monitor - C1422H (which typically connects via USB-C)?

 

Thank you!!

As far as I know, unless you have a USB-C port on your GPU, there is not a way to do so.

If you have an APU with integrated graphics the USB-C port on the mobo might support display output but otherwise no. 

I always recommend to make sure that there's also an HDMI input next to the USB-Cs when buying such portable monitors.

There should be hdmi to usb-c adaptors that you can use, but they are really rare.

If you find one let me know, because i am looking for one for my phone, as my phone has a monitor mode, I could use it as a camera display, but i only need that adaptor for that, and no dice.

Possibly a silly follow-up: might this bidirectional DisplayPort-USBC cable connect my portable USB-C monitor to the DP port on my desktop's GPU?

 

I only found one article on my monitor regarding this approach, though it gave no explanation on why it fails

"connecting the monitor to a power source through one USB-C port and supplying a signal from DisplayPort to USB-C with an image through the other USB-C connection failed"

Well, if you have a DP port, I can confirm that this DisplayPort - USB-C cable worked for me!

 

(The only asterisk is that it doesn't provide sufficient power to my monitor (which is powered solely by USB-C). Fortunately my monitor has 2 USB-C ports, and I plugged my PC's charging cable into the other port. Curiously, plugging a USB-C cable from my desktop made the whole thing not work - it must've defaulted to looking for a signal from the wrong cable.)

 

So here is my 3950X 16-core "laptop"..... =P
