Monitor with USB-C DP input?

[Zarathustra[H]]

Hey everyone,

This is a little bit of an unusual one for me.

Better half has a Dell Ultrathin S2718D monitor. It's inputs are HDMI or USB-C, but the USB-C port has a little Displayport logo on it. It looks like this:

The computer I need to hook it up to does not have an HDMI out or DVI out, just displayport.


I've been searching for adapter cables, but those I can find seem designed to use a USB-C port on a laptop and output to a Displayport monitor.

Does anyone know if there is anything special I need to go the opposite direction?

I mean, I could always use an active HDMI adapter, but I'd rather not.

I'd appreciate any experience anyone can share with these. I've never seen a monitor with a USB-C input (for video) before.

Thank you for that. It seems the keyword to look for is "bidirectional". I will have to keep that in mind.

Appreciate it!
