Q: QuestionWill this monitor be powered by a nintendo switch 2 dock's USB port?

Asked 2 months ago by Aaron.

• A:Answer The Acer PM161Q requires approximately 10-15W of power to operate. It features USB Type-C ports that support power and DisplayPort over USB-C. The Switch 2 dock has a 60W input, and while it provides enough power to the console, its USB-A/C ports may not negotiate the required power for a portable monitor directly. We suggest you check with Nintendo to see if this set up would work with that device.
