Q: QuestionCan I use my usb-c cable at home to connect the monitor, or am I only able to use the specific cable that the monitor comes with?

Asked 4 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer While Acer recommends using the included USB-C cable, you can certainly try other USB-C cables with this device. If it does not work it could be that the cable does not support video out. If you are having trouble using other USB-C cables, we suggest you post your question on the Acer community forum at community.acer.com. This is a very good peer-to-peer forum for questions and answers on Acer products.

Asked 5 days ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Yes, you can connect your iPhone Pro Max to the Acer PM161W monitor with a USB-C cable, as long as both your iPhone (15 or later) and the monitor support video output over USB-C. You will need a USB-C cable that supports video output and a power source for the monitor, either a separate USB-C power source or one connected through the monitor itself.
