[SOLVED] 2nd Monitor Not working (USB-C or DisplayPort)

[aemi07]

Hello,

We got Z390-DESIGNARE (link below), and it says "Support for up to 3 displays at the same time." The motherboard has 1 hdmi, 2 thunderbold/usb c and 1 display port input. The HDMI is working on a monitor atm.

Two issues:
1) I cannot attach with usb-c another monitor, I get no signal. Any ideas why?

2) Why is the display input and not OUTPUT. What's the use of that?

3) Further, the manual shows that if I buy an additional graphics card, I connect a cable from the graphics card to the Display port input. Why?

Thank you!

DP input is for an external graphics card, as clearly stated on website -- it can't be used for a monitor.
