Same connector form, different documented roles

DP: DisplayPort input — Display input · DisplayPort output — Display daisy-chain output

USB-C: Thunderbolt 4 upstream USB-C port — Thunderbolt upstream / display input · Thunderbolt 4 downstream USB-C port — Thunderbolt downstream / daisy chain · USB-C upstream port — USB data upstream · USB-C downstream ports — USB downstream / charging

Do not transfer a capability from one location to another merely because the connector outline matches.

Read before using the profile

  • Several USB-C-shaped ports have different upstream/downstream roles; shape alone is especially unsafe on this monitor.
  • The source lists port roles and selected capabilities; shared bandwidth, host requirements and simultaneous-mode limits require the full manual and exact host context.
