This means that smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras, and any other devices with a USB-C port can be built to directly output video to any HDMI display with a single cable. USB-C devices that support these Alt Modes can then, with the correct USB-C cable, transfer those signals in addition to regular USB data.

But USB-C, depending on the specific port’s implementation, can do much more. But while the USB-C standard supports connecting DisplayPort and/or HDMI displays with an adapter (via the DisplayPort-over-USB protocol), not every PC maker has connected the ports to every system’s graphics hardware.
Can I connect a USB-C to a monitor?
If you’ve got a laptop (or a hub) with a USB-C, HDMI, DVI and Displayport, you can mix and match your monitors – but remember to choose the best input for each monitor’s specifications so you get the maximum resolution and refresh rate out of each.
Can you output video through USB?
Most computers will have a USB 2.0 or 3.0 Type A port. Therefore, It is not recommended to run video through a computer with only a 2.0 USB port as the bandwidth is not enough for smooth playback.

No display signal over USB-C. Make sure your drivers are up-to-date to allow the DP-Alt mode to work correctly with the new display. There’s a chance it’s an interop over USB-C with the new panel due to the E-markers on the monitor, laptop, and cable it came with.
How to check does my USB Type-C support video output or?
You’ll need to provide the specific model number (on the label at the bottom of the system or on the setup screen — F2 at powerup to access). It sounds likely it’s an Inspiron 7373, in which case, the answer is no — it does not support video over USB C natively.
Can a USB-C port be used as a HDMI port?
