Setting up Spectrum
21
ONE-CABLE SOLUTION
You can attach a computer, notebook, or similar device to the monitor with a single USB Type-C
cable. This USB Type-C cable then provides connectivity for high-speed data, audio and video,
and up to 100W of power or charging.
•
Connect one end of a USB Type-C cable to the USB Type-C port on the rear of the monitor
and the other end to the USB Type-C port on the computer, notebook, or other device.
CAUTION: When powering or charging the host computer via USB Type-C,
DC power does not need to be connected. Do not connect two power
sources (DC power in and USB Type-C) to the host computer
simultaneously.
CAUTION: Use only USB Type-C cables that are rated for up to 100W of
power delivery. The use of inappropriate cables could represent a fire hazard.
Charging at high power can cause high temperatures, consult the
documentation that came with your device about fire safety.
IMPORTANT: The host computer must be able to support the USB Power
Delivery protocol over the USB Type-C connector to be charged or powered
by Spectrum.
IMPORTANT: The host computer must be able to support DisplayPort
Alternate Mode over the USB Type-C connector to provide Spectrum with an
image signal.
NOTE: When connected by a single USB Type-C cable, Spectrum cannot
simultaneously operate the built-in USB hub at its full speed and run the
display at its maximum resolution and refresh rate due to technical
limitations. The bandwidth priority can be set in the OSD. You can learn more
about setting your priority preferences on page 30.
