Can I use a standard USB-C port on an acer nitro 5 AN515-54 with a USB-C to DisplayPort

NyanKat

I have an acer nitro 5 AN515-54 and I recently just bought a new monitor (also Acer) to use with my acer nitro laptop. I bought a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to connect the laptop to the monitor. The USB-C port is standard and does not have thunderbolt so I was wondering if it is going to be a problem to use that cable for video output from the laptop to the pc.

Best is to use the Acer monitors HDMI-to-HDMI cable and plug it into the AN515-54s #3 port which is a HDMI 2.0 type, as this cable is the most commonly used and best for a monitor connection. Below are the position and all the specs of the HDMI of the AN515-54 laptop:
