Which monitor compatible with iPad pro in USB-C

Hello,


I have an iPad Pro and I would like to use it with external monitor connecting with USB-C. I have one monitor (Acer H277HU) which was working well with my macbook connected in USB-C but for some reason, this is not working with the iPad pro (only charging when I plug it).


I have seen that there is a monitor supposed to be working (LG 4K UltraFine) but it’s a very expensive one.

Are there other monitors with this compatibility? And what is the technical detail that allows it?


Thanks in advance,

iPad Pro, iOS 13

Hello,


This is according to Apple’s support document for USB-C displays on iPad Pro.


USB-C displays

iPad Pro uses the DisplayPort protocol to support connections to USB-C displays with resolutions up to 5K.1 To connect iPad Pro to high-resolution displays, use a USB-C cable that supports high-bandwidth connections, such as the cable included with the display, the Belkin USB-C to USB-C Cable, or the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable (sold separately).2
iPad Pro also supports high-dynamic-range USB-C displays that use the HDR10 standard. You can switch between SDR and HDR modes by going to Settings > Display & Brightness and selecting your connected display. iPad Pro matches the frame rate and dynamic range of currently playing content when you turn on Allow Display Mode Changes.
Some USB-C displays can also charge iPad Pro while it's connected.
1. iPad Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt 3 displays such as the LG UltraFine 5K Display.
2. The Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) Cable has a Thunderbolt symbol  to distinguish it from a USB-C cable.


Charge and connect with the USB-C port on the new iPad Pro



You may also look into using a HDMI display using a HDMI adapter.
