Is it possible to use a monitor (PD 90W) as power supply for the SER6 Max?

it is better to use a 100w or 120w power supply.

I want to use a Benq PD2706U (PD 90W) monitor as power supply to save space with the cables. So 1 Thunderbolt cable should deliver the power to the SER6 Max and this cable should send video and audio to the monitor.

I don't want to do games, so I think there is not a lot power needed.

you could try to see if that could work, and then machine just supports thunderbolt 3.0, not 4.0

Thanks for telling me, that it is thunderbolt 3.0. That is the reason, why I am asking for a manual in my other thread.
