Hi all wondering if you could help. I have a studio display. My partner has a Lenovo laptop with HDMI which she would like to plug into the screen as a second screen. a USB-c to HDMI converter does not work and I cannot figure out how we can get around it. Do I need a specific adapter?

Even if you found a HDMI (computer) to USB-C (monitor) adapter – which seems unlikely – it wouldn't produce a Thunderbolt signal.
Just a USB-C (DisplayPort) one, which for the 27" Apple 5K Studio Display would not be good enough.

that statement is correct by definition, because the speed of the interface is too high to support adapters. For a real HDMI Display at 5K and above, producing a reliable HDMI signal using an adapter is also not possible.

Studio display only works with a Thunderbolt connection.
