Move what's on the screen across your Surface display and onto the TV or monitor screen. When you have displays extended, you can drag and move items between the two screens and select a different resolution for your second screen (to learn more about screen resolutions, go to Solution 6). If your monitor doesn’t support DisplayPort or USB-C, we recommend using HDMI. Otherwise, use DVI or VGA. The adapters listed in the table have been tested for compatibility and can help solve video issues. For other options, see Officially licensed third-party accessories. If you're using a USB-C or Thunderbolt adapter to connect a display, the adapter must be compliant with DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4. Thanks @VibrantNebula for your very informative post. I have nearly the same problem as @NightOwl. I have a state of the art laptop (with a Geforce 2070 Max-Q GPU, Intel i9, ...) with no displayport. However I live in Western Europe and the adapter suggested is not available anywhere close by. Could you please suggest other adapters that have been shown to work with HTC Vive Pro? Or a guide on the minimum specifications needed for it to work? Will I be able to charge my laptop through any of the monitor's ports (given that I use an adapater cable such as USB 3.1 to HDMI)?

If you are unable to resolve your issue with solutions above, please refer to Connect Surface to a TV, monitor, or projector for more information on how to connect your Surface to other devices. Related topics If your monitor doesn’t support DisplayPort, we recommend using HDMI. Otherwise, use DVI or VGA. The adapters listed in the table have been tested for compatibility and can help solve video issues. For other options, see Officially licensed third-party accessories. If you’re using a Mini DisplayPort adapter, make sure the adapter is plugged in correctly. The adapter will only work when the connector is plugged in with the flat side of the connector aligned with the flat side of the Mini DisplayPort. HDMI connections can also transmit audio signals. We also recommend you use Microsoft’s USB-C adapters on the devices equipped with the USB-C port. For more info, see Surface sound, volume, and audio accessories. MatteoM - The Club3D Adapter you linked is the most reliable of the third party USB-C adapters we've tested firsthand. The specs you're looking for are Displayport 1.2+ support, with support for 4K@60fps with a bandwidth greater than 20gbps. Your USB-C port specifically needs to be physically wired to work with the Nvidia card and the port must support DP 1.2+ signaling.
When you use two external displays, you may be able to achieve a higher refresh or screen resolution on one display by lowering the refresh or screen resolution used on the other. USB-B ports do not provide power. USB-A ports provide power but no more than 12 watts, that is assuming they meet the USB spec. There are devices on the market that violate the USB spec to provide more power than 12 watts through USB-A but if your laptop is going to take advantage of this then the cable to the laptop would also have to violate the USB spec, and do so in a way that matches this non-USB spec. Also, 12 watts is a maximum, the minimum allowed from USB-A is 4.5 watts. Follow the monitor manufacturer’s instructions to set both external displays to use DisplayPort 1.2 as an input source. For example, this might be called Multi-Stream Transport (MST), which allows the first display to pass the signal along to the second external display.
Mini DP 1.2 to USB-C adapters in Vive Pro. Need help regarding Mini DP 1.2 to USB-C adapters in Vive Pro.
If your laptop's USB-C port will output DP1.2+, here is an adapter that's known to work with Pro. It will only work if your laptop is compatible. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. On your Surface, select Start > Power > Restart . If there's an update available, it might say Update and restart . Turn the TV or other display off and on, then try connecting them again. It is possible to connect a Display Port or Mini Display Port output to a USB-C Display input? If, so what adapter and/or cables are required? When you connect your Surface to a TV or monitor, your Surface tries to set the best resolution based on the connector and the resolution of your TV or monitor.
The resolution and refresh rate supported for the external display depends on how many displays are connected and whether the display on your Surface is on or off. It also depends on which processor you have. I have the same issue, I bought HTC Vive Pro and my laptop has RTX 2070 Super, and has a USB Type-C with Display port 1.4, But I don't know if its physically wired to Nvidia graphic card or not? Anyone successful with using a USB-C to DP bidirectional cable to the G-story 15" Portable Type-C monitor?

Move what's on your Surface to an external display. When you have displays extended, you can drag and move items between the two displays and select a different resolution for your external display (to learn more about display resolutions, go to Solution 7). If you find that your monitor is compatible, but you still need help, try Solution 9. Solution 9: Try the adapter on a different external display If you're using a video extension cable or video converter, remove it from your set up to see if it’s causing the problem.Use the cable that came with your monitor or verify that the cable supports video. Always do this with Surface devices with USB-C ports. See the same things on both your Surface display and on the TV, monitor, or projector (to learn more about screen resolutions, go to Solution 6). Is there some kind of powered USB-C hub that will combine a video input + power input as a single output so I can use this portable monitor?
