Question about Dell UltraSharp U2724DE
Hello, I'm a bit confused about the different standards and connection possibilities. Is it possible to connect a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 laptop to the Thunderbolt port and use just this cable for charging (65W) and to be able to use the keyboard and mouse connected to the screen? I'd also like to be able to switch via the KVM to another PC connected via DisplayPort + USB. Thanks for your help!

For the Dell UltraSharp 27 Thunderbolt™ Hub Monitor - U2724DE, here are the key points to address your questions:
## USB-C Connection and Charging
- The monitor features a Thunderbolt™ 4 upstream port that supports data, video and power delivery up to 90W. Even if your laptop uses a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, you can still plug it into the monitor's Thunderbolt™ 4 port, as this port is compatible with USB-C connections. This will allow you to charge your laptop (up to 90W) and use the peripherals connected to the monitor, such as the keyboard and mouse.
## Using the KVM
- The monitor offers several connection options, including USB-A and USB-C ports, as well as a DisplayPort 1.4 port. You can connect another PC via the DisplayPort 1.4 port and use the USB ports for peripherals. However, to switch between the two PCs via a KVM, you'll need to use a KVM switch that supports both USB and DisplayPort connections. The monitor itself has no built-in KVM functionality, but you can configure an external KVM switch to manage the connections.
In a nutshell, you can plug your USB-C laptop into the Thunderbolt™ 4 port to take advantage of charging and use the peripherals connected to the monitor. To switch between two PCs, you'll need an external KVM switch compatible with DisplayPort and USB connections.
