List of devices with video output over USB-C
This list provides an overview of devices that support video output over USB-C. Not all USB-C ports support video output; a device is required to specifically provide support for USB-C Alternate Mode, which dedicates some of the physical wires in a USB-C 3.1 cable for direct device-to-host transmission of alternate data protocols.
Prior to the introduction of USB-C and Alternate Mode, devices that do not have standard-size DisplayPort or HDMI ports (such as smartphones and tablets) provided video output over the Micro USB port, either through the MHL or SlimPort standard.
Devices with Thunderbolt 3 and DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C
Thunderbolt 3 Alternate Mode streams DisplayPort 1.2 or DisplayPort 1.4 (with Titan Ridge) video within the Thunderbolt 3 stream. Also all Thunderbolt 3 controllers additionally support "DisplayPort Alternate Mode".[1] Therefore all devices listed here also support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C.
