USB-C video
Do the USB-C ports support video?
A common worry with USB-C monitors is whether the USB-C port actually carries the picture, or only data and power. On a Kuycon monitor, it carries the picture.
Video travels over USB-C
The upstream USB-C port carries the video signal through DisplayPort Alt Mode. A single USB-C or Thunderbolt cable from your Mac is enough to show the full native Retina image, with no adapter or dock in between.
That same cable also delivers up to 100 W of power to charge the Mac and carries USB data for the built-in hub, all at once. One cable does the work of three.
The other USB ports are a hub
Besides the video-carrying upstream port, the monitor has downstream USB-C and USB-A ports. These act as a docking hub: plug in a keyboard, mouse or drive once and they connect to your Mac through the single cable.
If you prefer, the monitor also has standard DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, so you can feed video that way and keep USB-C free for another device.
USB-C video across the range
Every current Kuycon monitor takes video over USB-C. Choose by resolution and refresh.
