Question 3 external touch monitors with USB-C - how to connect to PC?

[Tomas1020]

Hi,

I want to get 3 touch screens to use for my flight simulator (MSFS). I want to place them in front of (below) my main 32" screen (next to each other) and use them for pop-out displays and other stuff.

I found this model: https://www.verbatim-europe.com/en/...screen-monitor-156-full-hd-1080p-pmt-15-49592

Based on some reviews I saw, this monitor works with using only USB-C cable, which provides video transmission, as well as power.
It also has an HDMI, but my GTX 1080 Ti is limited with ports for this.

So my question is - will this setup work with a USB-C hub, which would be connected to a single USB-C (or USB-A?) port in my PC?

Or would you recommend another solution for this?
Thank you!

Tomas

You will need to hook up both HDMI and Type-C ports to your platform to get full functionality of the panels;

I would look into native USB Type-C support off your platform but as a test run get one panel and then run it off a Type-A to Type-C adapter instead of a hub.

Hi, thank you for the assessment. Could you please elaborate on the part:
"You will need to hook up both HDMI and Type-C ports to your platform to get full functionality of the panels;"

What do you mean by "my platform"? What is the difference between plugging a USB-C into my PC and plugging it into a hub?

Thanks!
