Question How to connect a monitor using USB C from the motherboard?

[brennan1452]

Hello, I've got an ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Motherboard, (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075RHWCC4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) which comes with a USB C port in the back. I'm trying to use this port to connect another monitor, specifically the Acer V226HQL (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...m_wv6aa_b01_essential_series_v226hql_bbd.html ) I brought a cable that goes from USB C to VGA, (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716B5Q47/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) But when I connect them, my computer gives me a notification saying "display connection might be limited " Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I've tried updating my drivers, and I've gone into bios and activated the graphics ports for the back of the motherboard.

All other graphics ports are in use, (3HDMI, 3DP, and the DVI-D, so I can't simply just use another port. (apart from a USB to VGA but I'm leaving that as a last resort)

I didn't think it would matter if it were DVI or VGA, would that make a difference?

vga is analog dvi can be digital signal

So what you're saying is if i got something like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015RIW2MI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VjwNCbEYWSME7) it would work?

I brought a USB C to DVI, and im getting the exact same result as I had with the previous cord... Im not sure what I need to do to make this work.

look like it not going to work

"adapter works with USB-C devices that pass a DisplayPort video signal and it’s also compatible with Thunderbolt™ 3 ports."
or unless the adapter come with some driver that output video signal from the usb c port

USB-C video adapters only work in USB-C ports that support video output. This is an optional feature, not all USB-C ports support this capability. Check your device's manual.
