I have viewsonic 4K oled portable monitor. Just bought this cable to connect that monitor to my PC with display port (rtx 4070 ti super). Tried switch all among all the GPU display ports, but nothing work.

DP to USB-C does not provide power.

Did you connect any kind of power source to the portable monitor?

on 30-01-2025

Yes I do with another USB C to power source (of course, not from the PC)

on 30-01-2025

all I get is “no signal” on the screen

Is it this one?

Does it work with the mini HDMI to HDMI cable?

Does the PC recognize any additional displays?

on 31-01-2025

Yes.
Mini HDMI is the only port I am using right now.
The portable monitor has 1 mini hdmi and 2 USB C.
Only mini HDMI work as intended. The USB C only work as power supply ports.
I want to use USB C as mini HDMI

Have you tried the joy stick on the back of the display to adjust input?

 

From the Manual, have you followed these steps?

Power Delivery – Further Information
Due to the VX1655-4K-OLED’s design please note:

The first connected device will be the main input signal.

When a Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will only distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.

Only when one of the Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the other one deliver two-way power.
If a laptop is connected first to the VX1655-4K-OLED, then a mobile phone is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will not be charged as neither Type C port recognizes the connection as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the mobile phone’s screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the laptop.
If a mobile phone is connected first to the VX1655-4K-OLED, then a laptop is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will be charged as one of the Type C ports is recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the mobile phone.
Due to the VX1655-4K-OLED’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a desktop computer at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).
NOTE:

If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the VX1655-4K-OLED.

Do not connect the other Type C port of the VX1655-4K-OLED to another laptop or desktop computer via Type A and HDMI at the same time.

If the laptop only has HDMI and Type A ports, please connect via HDMI and Type A to Type C to the VX1655-4K-OLED.

If the power output of the Type A port of the laptop is not greater than 20W, please use our power adapter to connect to the VX1655-4K-OLED.

Do not connect the other Type C port of the VX1655-4K-OLED to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.

Followed the infos above and still not working. The infos don’t mention anything about Display Port. Could be the monitor just doesn’t work with DisplayPort.

My assumption is that de monitor does something “weird” when connecting both USB-Cs. Can’t put my finger on it tho.
Highly doubt the cable is at fault.

Amazon Basics cable actually works and just 60% the price of 3D club cable!
