• Connect one USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop's first full-featured USB-C port to the monitor's Type-C1 port.
• Connect a second USB-C to USB-C cable from your laptop's second full-featured USB-C port to the monitor's Type-C2 port.

Note:

• Both USB-C ports on your laptop must support video output.
• Look for logos like DP (DisplayPort), Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 next to your USB-C ports.
