    @Cen_Geng try to look at the Type-C port to check if it has a thunderbolt symbol or not. If so, your model is capable of displaying video output for that Type-C port. If not, that Type-C port just works like the regular USB ports without video output.

    Hi @ Cen_Geng 

    As a novelty for this Intel-based Nitro 5 AN515-57 series, there's HDMI 2.1 support (hooked into the Nvidia GPU), and the USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 4 and video output via DP; the previous Nitro 5s offered data-only via USB-C and HDMI 2.0b.

     I have a Nitro 5. It is a USB Type-C port: USB 3.1 Gen 1, meaning it is capable of high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbps. You can use it for USB Type-C compatible smartphones, flash drives, and external hard drive.

    I think that if you connect a hub, you can get the opportunity to output to the monitor through it
