neufuse Veteran Posted May 21, 2023 Veteran Share Posted May 21, 2023 I get this in windows 11 but not in windows 10... USB popup saying "Display connection might be limited. Make sure the DisplayPort device you're connecting to is supported by your PC." my Dell U2720QM Monitor is connected via standard display port. Yet I get this message when I want to use the USB Ports on my monitor. I have the USB Hub in the monitor connected back to the system via USB-C, which is the only way the uplink port goes back. Why would my display connection be limited? nothing is limiting it, and there is no video over USB-C set up, thunderbolt is turned off on in the BIOS config as I am powering this monitor over a nVIDIA RTX 3080 card and have no need for thunderbolt either. What am I missing? I want to use the monitors side USB ports and use the display port connection to the dedicated card and not get this warning every time I start up in windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted May 21, 2023 Moderator Share Posted May 21, 2023 You keep having problems over problems.. I think it's just a Windows 11 bug, imo.. If it works fine, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted May 21, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2023 I used to have a 27" G Sync Dell and that had a USB hub too, but it used the following cable: This is what a USB uplink usually looks like. I haven't seen one with a Type C connector, Type C is usually used for Thunderbolt/DisplayPort connections. I am using one right now from DisplayPort to Type C on a mini PC. You will find that Type C ports will also have a DisplayPort symbol on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted May 21, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 21, 2023 Make sure the Type C connector is in the right port. You want to make sure the USB Hub connection isn't in the one with the DisplayPort symbol. (use the one with the red arrow).

I know they use different DP ports for usual PC connection, and daisy chain. Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the manual the upstream USB-C port is also display port, there is no independent upsteam USB port, the two USB3 downstream ports are not upstream. The input on the screen is set to Display Port not USB Type-C for the video. Windows seems to think that the USB-C even though DisplayPort on it is turned off in the bios is still a display port via USB-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FizzyChickenBroth Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Check to see if your USB-C setting is prioritized for data or resolution. I have a similar monitor and noticed my internet speeds weren't maxing out at 1Gbps and changed it from max graphics to max data. My graphics didn't seem to take any hit but my ethernet capped out after the change. Chances are you can probably safely ignore that message if you're getting your intended resolution. The warning may go away if you happen to have it set to max data and toggle to max resolution instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warning may go away if you happen to have it set to max data and toggle to max resolution instead. graphics aren't going through the USB-C cable, they are going through a DP cable, so that wouldn't affect resolution, but the USB-C port is set to data but that shouldn't matter as the motherboard's bios is set to disable video on USB-C since I'm not using it for that right now nothing is affected by it, just an annoying windows pop up randomly warning me about it, which I can't seem to stop even with notifications for it turned off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted May 22, 2023 Supervisor Share Posted May 22, 2023 Hello, It sounds like the monitor is trying to negotiate a DisplayLink connection to the computer with the Nvidia RTX 3080 video card in it over the computer's USB-C port. That's just a guess on my part, though, since I haven't seen any mention of the brand and model of computer and do not know what its capabilities may or may not be.
