This seems like a simple question, but the answer doesn't appear to be completely clear. I need to order a monitor, that will work with both PC and Mac laptops (both via the USB-C "type" port).
Obviously some modern Macs have Thunderbolt interfaces, PC's don't. I need to be able to drive the display, charge the laptop and access the monitor's USB hub, all via 1 single USB-C/Thunderbolt cable.
I currently do this with a M2 MacBook Air paired with a Lenovo ThinkVision T27p10 monitor. It works a treat.
That being said, if I want to support newer MacBooks and PCs alike in the same way, do I need a monitor with USB-C input or a monitor with ThunderBolt input? From the research I've done, I need the former.
In other words will a Thunderbolt source work with a non-Thunderbolt display, or is the opposite true?
Life was much easier when if the plug fit, the thing worked.
