@Montisaquadeis 4 года назад

Yeah many laptops with USB-C and hdmi/displayports won't do Displayport alt mode over their Type-c ports since they already have built in hdmi/DP for display. Which is why I was required to purchase a portable monitor with hdmi inputs and USB for power.

I was able to get a non-USB-C laptop to display on the Thinkvision. I used an active HDMI to Display port adapter (HDMI 1.4, not 2.0), and then a bi-directional Displayport to USB C adapter. Can get both on amazon. I have a macbook pro 2015 before they switched to USB-C.

@Alejandrojr33 2 года назад

I have a Macbook Air 2015 and was wondering if the Thinkvision would work woth it using a usb type a to type c adapter. What's your thoughts? Thank you!

@papoosee 2 года назад

@@Alejandrojr33 it will not work with just a simple USB Type A-to-USB-C. It will work with the method I described above and will work on the MacBook Air 2015 (it’s pretty much the same laptop as “15 Pro). Note, the set up I used costs about $70-$80 (it’s not basic adapters). BUT, I would not recommend getting this (or any USB-C portable monitor) if you don’t have USB-C port on your laptop . The reason is because while the Lenovo will display with the correct set-up, it will not get power from your laptop no matter how many adapters you get (only USB-C enabled ports passes power), so you’ll have to buy a separate power adapter and always have it plugged into the thinkvision, making the “portable” aspect null. I ended up buying a new laptop that has USB-C and the thinkvision really shines when you use it with the proper laptop. If you aren’t going to buy a new laptop with USB-C, I recommend finding a different portable monitor that doesn’t exclusively use USB-c. There are many on Amazon and it’s cheaper and works just as good as thinkvision.

the port is usb-C but the connection is Thunderbolt or i am wrong? because if you are looking for a longer cable you wouldn't find a usb-c cable that is able to transfer the HDMI signal.

@efficaciousuave 2 года назад

what if you plug in a lightning to hdmi adaptor to iphone 11.?? it has a charging port too. so plug in your iphone charger to the dongle. tehn plug in a hdmi to type c cable. the hdmi end will go into the iphone, and the type c end will go into the monitor. i saw a video on youtube from viewsonic they did this to mirror theor iphone. i wonder if this will work here as well since both are usb c portable monitors.
