Hello! I just bought an external monitor (BenQ EW2880U). Its USB-C to USB-C cable charges my Macbook Air (15" 2023). This USB-C also provides me with the 4k / 60hz experience that I need. I do not want to use an HDMI cable.
I would like to know if it's safe to plug in my Apple 70W brick charger at the same time as the USB-C that charges from my BenQ monitor?
Thank you!!
