use usb-C to connect to an external monitor with charging I am connecting iMac 27 (2020) to an external monitor, LG 27UN850-W which has a usb-c port with power supply (60W). Can i connect this directly to iMac's thunderbolt port? Wondering if the power from monitor's usb-C output would damage iMac? as iMac doesn't need charging like a macbook. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

mac mini to usb-c monitor Hi I have a Samsung monitor (Samsung LC34H890WJUXEN) which has 3 ports: * HDMI * DisplayPort * USB-C I already use the HDMI and Displayports for other devices, switching between them as needed. Is it possible to connect a mac mini 2018 using the USB-C port on the monitor connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on the mac? Would this drive video output to the monitor? The usb-c port on the monitor can also be used as a charging port (max 65W). Would this output power from the monitor damage the mac mini? If I can connect the mac mini to the monitor, can I use a standard usb-c to usb-c cable or does it need to be a Thunderbolt 3 specific cable? Thanks in advance
