Hey! I bought a monitor that can charge a laptop. https://www.lg.com/ru/monitors/lg-27UL850-W
But the power of the laptop's power supply is 96W, and the monitor is only 60W.
Can I use both Thunderbolt wires (own power and power from the monitor)? How to properly supply power to a laptop?
Thank!
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.2
If you connect >1 power source, your Mac will select and use only the most appropriate one (in your case, the power adapter). USB-PD protocol requires the computer/device to 'ask' for power from the source, so your Mac will just ignore the display if your 16" MBPs adapter is connected to another port.

You can use both. The computer and the battery will not be damaged.
Thank you very much!
