Do more research before you buy a monitor You can either keep it for now since you have HDMI and it should be usable, and one day use a desktop with it, or return it and get a 144/165hz monitor.

Does your laptop have a USB-C port that also supports DisplayPort? You could potentially use that port for your monitor

For what games?

 

Keep in mind this is a mobile 4060 NOT a desktop one.

 

Also what laptop is it? A lot have usb c dp port capabilities. If yours doesnt then well it simply wont work.

If this is the model, AN16-41-R1WE: https://www.acer.com/us-en/laptops/nitro/nitro-16-amd/pdp/NH.QLLAA.001

 

Then it appears that no, the Type C port does not support video out via DP Alt mode:

 

 

Weirdly, a cheaper model with an Intel i5 and 4050 does, likely because it includes a thunderbolt chip. AN16-51-56VR
