DisplayPort™ is the first A/V protocol to be carried over USB Type-C.

Is DisplayPort same as USB-C?

DisplayPort over USB-C is both backward compatible and reversible, which means no more guessing which end of the cable goes where.

How do I know if my DisplayPort is USB-C?

Next to the ports on a Windows laptop, you'll find symbols/logo that show you what you can do with a particular port. Is there a symbol of a lightning bolt (Thunderbolt 3) next to the USB-C port? Then you can use this port to charge and to transfer a video signal. That means you can connect a monitor.
