QuestionDoes it need to be hooked up to an outlet?
Asked 1 month ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This does need to be connected to a power source. The monitor can draw both power and video signal through a single USB-C cable from a compatible laptop, smartphone, or tablet, in which case a separate power outlet connection is not needed. When using HDMI the connected device must support power delivery (PD) and DisplayPort Alt Mode over its USB-C port. You need to connect the monitor to an external power supply using the included AC adapter and power cord, which plugs into an electrical outlet. HDMI only transmits audio/video signals and does not provide power.

QuestionCan you connect a ROKU to the monitor for it to act similar to a TV?
Asked 3 months ago by DebH.
- Answer Yes, you should be able to connect a Roku to the PM161W monitor to use it like a TV, provided you connect the Roku to the monitor's HDMI port and handle the audio separately if the monitor lacks speakers or sufficient audio output. You will need to power the Roku, and switch the monitor's input to the correct HDMI port.
