I am thinking of buying a portable screen with stylus support for note-taking. I have narrowed my choice to a couple of monitors, the primary one being Lenovo ThinkVision M14t. I liked its design and want to use it with my PC, but the specification shows that it only has a USB-C port (in alt mode) through which it gets both display signal and power from the device it is hooked to.

I wonder if I can connect my 4-5 years old custom-built PC, which has Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard and 2GB DDR5 Asus GTX960 Black OC Edition GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5 Graphics card.

Graphic Card: 2GB DDR5 Asus GTX960 Black OC Edition

To get video over Type-C port on a system that does not have the Alt-DP over USB-C supported, you will need to install an adapter that combines USB with DisplayPort data stream. Here is one:

You will need a short DP cable to connect your videocard output to this adapter. Then the adapter's USB-C port will provide you with ALT-DP mode for your TYPE-C portable monitor. enter image description here
