A note about the monitor connections:
Connect the HDMI cable between the monitor and your computer, then connect the USB-C to USB-A cable between the port on the monitor labeled "power" and an available powered USB port either directly on your computer or hub. If the monitor flashes on and off, you DO NOT have enough power to run the unit - find another USB port that does.
