Hello everyone, I wanted to connect a display with this cable (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/i-tec-usb-typ-c-displayport-150-m-displayport-usb-typ-c-video-kabel-10158083?gclid=Cj0KCQiAlMCOBhCZARIsANLid6Yro6YT8gfgnQFowVESytlM0lWUIC6mNNa02ojKf92dBMoaDoGExYcaAlOjEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds). However, the external display does not recognise it. No signal is recognised. Does anyone know the problem and could be helpful? Ps: Connection via HDMI works. Thanks and cheers

According to Lenovo's technical specifications, only two USB-C ports can output a DisplayPort signal (DP 1.4) at all. The third USB-C port on the right is only capable of data connections (no video signal). And only the rear USB-C port seems to be intended for charging. The rear and left USB-C ports should work. I would test those out. The i-Tech cable would also only be suitable for DisplaPort 1.2, but technically it should also work with DisplaPort 1.2.

Left:
USB Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort™ 1.4)
Headphone / mic jack

Right:
USB Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1)
E-Shutter button

Rear:
3 x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 (always on 5V)
USB Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, DisplayPort™ 1.4, power delivery)
HDMI 2.1
RJ45
