Question about Lenovo P24h-30
Hello, I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E14 and an additional Lenovo T23i-20 monitor. If I connect a DP cable from the T23 to the DP-in of the P24 and connect the USB-C cable from the P24 to my Thinkpad E14 will : 1) Will the laptop be charged (65W power supply)? 2) Will the DP's Daisy chained video signal pass through correctly? Will the signal from the two screens pass through correctly and give a three-screen setup (with the laptop screen)? Thank you!

Hello,
We have the following configuration which works: P24h-30 and T24i-10 (old model) and it works without problem. The P24h acts as a master monitor, daisy-chaining quite effectively in this configuration (computer -> usb-c -> P24h -> DP-out/DP-in -> T24i).
CEPANDANT :
P24h models sometimes tend to crash. With thinkpad X1/thinkpad e14, thinkpad L14 (we have this type of configuration at home) for example.
When this happens, sometimes it's because of the screen, sometimes because of the computer.
If it's the computer, a reboot is enough. If it's the screen, to be SURE that the screen restarts, you need to pull the plug, drain the remaining electricity (try switching on without power, the little LED lights up and goes off.) then turn the power back on.
Out of a population of ~70 users, we've had ~10% of users with recurring cases of the screen no longer being detected by the computer, for example after unplugging it to go to a session or something (so leaving the screen for 1 hour and then coming back). These cases are 90% solved by the above procedure. For the remaining 10%, the simplest solution was simply to plug in another P24h in place of another (it's surprising, but sometimes it's the combination of screen and computer that struggles to work, whereas both screen and computer, with another screen-computer pair, work perfectly).
So, to sum up: great screens, good quality, daisy-chain as requested. If you disconnect from the screen several times a day, there's a risk that the screen won't be detected, and an empirical procedure to solve the problem ;).
1. Charging via USB-C should work (I have a ThinkPad but I charge via its mains adapter because it's faster).
For 2. I don't think anyone will be able to answer your question without having the same configuration as you.
Namely: I've read on forums that there are bugs and updating the screen firmware, but the latter is impossible to find, even if some people explain how to do it on YouTube.
Also, for complicated cases, it's better to have two screens of the same model.
In short: order one, test it, and if you're not satisfied, return it.
