SFX14-41-Hub USB without thunderbolt manage screen and charge?possible to connect one Cable for both

Alaz

Hello i have an Acer swift X SFX14-41G (https://www.acer.com/fr-fr/support/product-support/SFX14-41G/NX.AU1EF.007) with a USB C 3.2 Gen 2.

I would like to build a setup with a second screen and be able to only connect one Cable to charge it and also transfer video to a monitor.

But after many research I didn't find any clear answer of this being possible without a thunderbolt port that I haven't.

Would a Hub USB with a power delivery would work?

Thank you

This model has DisplayPort over USB-C so you can get a USB c to DisplayPort adapter.

My question is more about the ability of this port of managing charge + video signal true the same port. I will be able to connect the hdmi directly on the hub but i don't know if it will still charge the laptop .

Yes, spec on that port is:

So any of the docks that use the DP Alt Mode for video and provide at least 20V@3.25A will work. Because it's DP 1.2 some of the higher resolutions and refresh rates won't be supported. The higher end docks that generate their own video will also work, but they are more expensive.
