Before you begin
You can connect up to two 4K external displays or one 5K and above display using the Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) ports
available on your XPS 13 Plus 9320, without the use of USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 adapters or docking stations.
Before you begin, ensure that you:
● Check the graphics options on your computer.
● Check the ports available on your external displays and decide on the mode of connection.
Check the graphics options on your computer
The number of external displays that are supported depends on the type of graphics processing unit (GPU) available on your
computer.
NOTE: On computers that feature a Intel Iris X
e
Graphics graphics processing unit (GPU), you can connect up to two
external displays or one 8K display directly to the Thunderbolt 4 ports of your XPS 13 Plus 9320.
For more information about the graphics card or graphics processing unit available on your computer, run Dell SupportAssist on
your computer, or scan your hardware at www.dell.com/support.
The XPS 13 Plus 9320 features Intel Iris X
e
Graphics (integrated graphics).
Modes of connection
Depending on the connectors available on your external display, you can connect the displays to the Thunderbolt 4 (USB
Type-C) ports on your computer using:
● The daisy-chaining technique.
● Thunderbolt cables, adapters, or docking stations.
● USB Type-C cables, adapters, or docking stations.
NOTE:
To experience the full resolution supported by your external displays, use appropriate cables. For example, use
DisplayPort or HDMI cables for 4K and above resolution.
NOTE: Thunderbolt or USB Type-C docking stations can be used to connect external displays to the computer using a
single Thunderbolt or USB Type-C cable, while charging the computer. For more information about the types of docking
stations available from Dell, see the knowledge base article 000124295 at www.dell.com/support.
NOTE: Thunderbolt or USB Type-C adapters can also be used to connect external displays to the computer, though these
adapters may not allow power charging at the same time. For more information about the types of Thunderbolt or USB
Type-C adapters available from Dell, see the knowledge base article 000125728 at www.dell.com/support.
The Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) ports available on your computer are shown in the following image.
NOTE:
When connecting a display indirectly using an adapter or docking station, it is recommended that you connect the
display to the docking station first, and then connect the docking station to the Thunderbolt 4 (USB Type-C) port on your
computer.
NOTE: The devices connected to the port on the left side of the computer have priority over the port on the right. While
connecting external displays, it is recommended that you connect the displays to the left port.
