As the most familiar interface to everyone, it is widely used in laptops, desktops, mice, keyboards and other peripherals. Currently, there are three types of USB interfaces: Type-A, Type-B and Type-C.

Friends who need an external monitor must choose a docking station with an HDMI interface. Generally, there are two protocols: HDMI1.4 (1080P120Hz) and HDMI2.0 (2K144Hz, 4K60Hz). When connecting an external monitor to a laptop, be sure to check the Type-C interface on your laptop. Supported protocols.
There are three main combinations of mainstream notebooks:
a. Full-featured Type-C: USB3.x + DP1.2/1.4 + PD
b. Support Thunderbolt protocol: Thunderbolt 3/4 + USB3.x + DP1.2/1.4 + PD
c. No PD protocol: USB3.x + DP1.2/1.4
