4. Setup Guide

4.1 Connecting to Devices

The Dragon Touch S1 Pro offers versatile connectivity options. Ensure the monitor is powered using the included wall charger and one of the USB-C cables before connecting to a source device.

  • Using USB-C (Full-Featured):

    For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (e.g., MacBook Pro, some laptops, and phones that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode), connect one end of the included USB-C cable to the monitor's USB-C port and the other end to your device's USB-C port. This single cable can transmit both video and power.

  • Using Mini HDMI:

    For devices with an HDMI output (e.g., gaming consoles like Xbox, PS4, Nintendo Switch, or PCs), use the included Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Connect the Mini HDMI end to the monitor and the HDMI end to your device. You will also need to connect a USB-C cable from the monitor to a power source (wall charger or a USB-A port on your device for power only) as HDMI does not transmit power.
