The display specs say:
  Input Interface: Mini HD(Video Signal), Type-C Full Function(Video
	Data, Power Supply ISDN),

I don't know what Mini HD is, but I would guess that it is really Mini
HDMI.

Mini HDMI isn't that common.  I think Raspberry Pi uses it.

USB 3.x can and often does support Power Delivery, and DisplayPort at
the same time.

If your computer is new enough, you only need a USB C male-to-male cab.

If not, you need a Mini HDMI cable and a USB C charger.

Or did I misunderstand somehting?
