**todo, work in progress**
The Librem5 supports **_[DisplayPort Alternate Mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#USB-C)_ only** which allows you to connect a monitor to its usb-c port using an appropriate [adapter](#usb-ids-of-your-dockhub).
* https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/FAQ.html#external-display (hdmi alt mode?! - really? - not: see updated page in repo https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/developer.puri.sm/-/blob/master/FAQ.rst).
This adapter might convert the DisplayPort signal to HDMI internally to let you use a HDMI connection, but USB-C **_HDMI Alternate Mode_ is not supported**.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#USB-C
* not supported by default: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayLink. Might work with additional software if it is available for arm64.
The similar sounding technology _[DisplayLink](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayLink)_ is not supported by PureOS nor by any other system running on the Librem5 known at time of writing. It might work with additional software installed.
