USB-C laptop to HDMI monitor
Your laptop has USB-C and the monitor (or TV) only has HDMI inputs.

|---|---|
| To the monitor | HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 |
| Gets you | 4K at 60Hz, or 4K at 120Hz+ on HDMI 2.1 |

Charging too? See will it charge my laptop or phone: effective charging is the lowest of the monitor's PD watts, the cable's rating and your device's maximum.
Gotchas
