Just keep in mind this will NOT charge your device and your device still needs to support video out over USB-C.

Yes, it doesn’t have HDMI

Hi all,

Not making a new thread, but changed my plans a little, will run double P24h-10 setup - will my Lenovo output display through two USB-C ports? Or I need to run one in USB-C and second through HDMI?

or maybe there is a chance of daisy chaining two monitors through DP/HDMI or something like that? Trying to remove as many cables as possible - like the idea of charging/displaying/usb hubbing through one cable
