Connect LG 29UM69G-B monitor to MacBook Pro 2017 via USB-C

USB-type-C should be thought of as an Attribute of a cable that specifies its cable-ends. It does NOT adequately describe its function. The best worst counter-example is the MacBook Charge cable. It has USB-C on each end, but is only capable of Charging and USB-2. Nothing more.

The ports on the most recent MacBooks are capable of many different protocols, including ThunderBolt-3, USB 3.1, and charging at multiple Voltages. Some displays may be able to interface with either or both of those, but in general ThunderBolt-3 is only good for genuine ThunderBolt devices, and a Charging cable often does nothing more.

That first Belkin cable picture shown by pavitchat is of a cable sold as a USB 3.1 cable (the green dot at the top) which features USB-C connectors as an attribute. (shown among features at the bottom.)

What has never worked is "stacking" converters. You generally must perform the complete conversion in ONE converter, with a few minor exceptions for re-wire adapters, such as [Mini] DisplayPort to [Full size] DisplayPort.

The "good old days" of "if the plug fits, the devices will work fine" are gone forever.

I have the same problem too, it's seems USB-C that came in the box support only charging. I about to buy Thunderbolt 3 that should support video to the monitor.

Could I see how many watt that you got by using that cable?

Same problem too. I just bought a Thunderbolt 3 cable (Belkin Thunderbolt 3) but doesn't work either.

The "Detect Screen" button shown after pressing Options doesn't detect it either.

Can someone help?

Thanks

ToniCejas, This one works. Just bought and test with my Macbook Pro and LG 29UM69G with this Belkin USB-C Cable.

Thanks for your reply pavitchat, I bought this one which should work too, maybe my monitor is not working well, I will call the technical service...

Hi, were you able to get this to work over USB-c in the end?

Does this cable also keep your macbook pro charged? Or does it only send video signal to the monitor? I have the same model but don't know if the monitor passes charge to the laptop.

Is it possible to charge macbook pro and display image through usb type-c port on this LG 29UM69G?

It just displays image, doesn't charge the macbook pro

my cable as I show in the previous comments charge macbook, other cable I do not know.
