Hi there, Pete. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your 16MR70.ASDU1 portable monitor. We understand your inquiry about connecting an HDMI gaming system while maintaining power to the monitor. We want to share that your monitor has two USB Type-C (DP Alt Mode) ports. The best way to connect an HDMI source, like a gaming system, and power the monitor simultaneously is to use one USB-C port for power and the other USB-C port for video input via a compatible adapter. Here is the simple troubleshooting step for connecting your devices: For Video Input: Connect your gaming system's HDMI cable to an HDMI-to-USB-C adapter. Then, plug the USB-C end of the adapter into one of the USB-C ports on your monitor. For Power Input: Connect the monitor's original power adapter (or a compatible power source) to the second, unused USB-C port on the monitor. This will provide power to the unit while you receive the video signal through the other port. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-gram-view-16-ips-led-60hz-portable-monitor-usb-type-c-silver/JJ8VPZRFP2 If you have any further questions about compatible adapters or setting up your devices, please contact us on lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com, and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo
