connect multiple monitors using DP-out?

and monitors used. Please refer to the monitor's user manual for further details

Q: Can I connect my Tablet / Phone
through USB-C?

A: Yes this is possible, screen resolution however is limited to Tablet

Q: Will the monitor charge my laptop
regardless of its power requirements?

A: The monitor can deliver from 65W to 96W, depending on the model.
If your laptop requires more power, we recommend using the power supply originally provided with the laptop.

Q: Using a laptop + MST set to ON
(extension mode) + 2 display in daisy chain, will I have video on all 3 screens?
