USB-C Monitors and Power Delivery – Why it’s Important

Not all USB-C monitors have enough power delivery to charge your USB-C laptop while its in use and transmitting a video signal. The tendency is that you will discharge your battery, so most will need to plug in the laptop’s charger. For some models like some of the 2018 MacBooks, that isn’t an option since there is only one slot for everything.

 So making sure that the USB-C monitor you are buying has enough power or wattage is a must for optimal performance and convenience. Notebook type laptops with low power processors typically need up to 65 watts, but the high-end models with discrete GPUs and multi-core processors will consume 85 watts or more. One easy way is to check your laptop’s charger to see how many watts it provides, then use it as a basis for selecting your USB-C monitor.
