USB-C Monitors and power delivery

[Camball69]

HI,

After a little help speccing a new monitor. I have bought a Fujitsu G5010 mini PC and the port on the back says it supports:-

1x Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 1 (supports DisplayPort 1.4 and power delivery e.g. from a display)

Am i correct in thinking that the monitor will power the PC from the USB-C port using one cable or is it the other way around ie the PC wil power the monitor?

Also like the idea of having a USB hub built into monitor therefore can anybody suggest a monitor please around the 27in size. Im not into gaming so general day to day using the PC.

Cheers

It is usually the monitor that powers the device, but not all systems are equal and they do specify different power level deliveries on different hubs/monitors. Most laptops get enough power to slow charge, whether that would be sufficient for the mini-pc or not is worth checking in advance if that is a key reason for buying. I use the hub monitors at work with hot dealing and the single cable to provide wired network/power/2 monitor display/mouse and KB is great easy.
