Query on USB-C port and Thunderbolt port for my home set up

Hi Team,

 

I am working in a company as a Software Developer. Recently I started WFH and purchased an LG 27UP850-W monitor and want to use this as my productivity setup.  

The monitor contains, an USB-C, 2 USB, 2 HDMI and 1 Display port. 

I am using my companies laptop.

My question is, I have connected Keyboard and Mouse to the available USB ports of the LG display.

Now my comp. laptop has a thunderbolt port available.

1. Can I connect my laptop thunderbolt port to the USB-C of LG Display?

2. If I can connect, can I output display along with using keyboard and mouse which is connected to LG display?

3. Will my laptop be able to get charged at the same time?

 

Please help me with this.

 

Thanks,

Harsh.

1 and 2 should be a definite yes, 3 will depend on the laptop, the monitor will be able to provide charging power on the USB-C input, but not every laptop can be charged via USB-C connection. Some laptops require higher charging power then USB-C is capable of (or used to be, the USB-PD standard was recently increased)

1. & 2. Yes

3. The display charges laptops up to 96W (if the laptop supports charging over Type C)
