Connecting to a Power Source:

- Ensure the power source provides adequate wattage for stable operation, especially when using high refresh rates or HDR.
Connecting to a Device:
- USB-C Connection (Video & Power): For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery), connect the USB-C to USB-C cable between the device and the monitor's Type-C 3.1 port. This single cable can provide both video and power.
