To whoever said that the USB-C monitors are normally powered by the device connected to it. That differs to my experience, all the monitors I have and use, the monitor powers and or charges the device and you get display and sound and USB uplink to the monitor. This is the standard usb-c setup for modern phone- monitor or laptop- monitor setup, the monitor is now the 'hub' of the desktop and the only thing plugged in.
That was me. But I think we're talking about different things. Portable vs desktop USB C input screens so we're probably both correct. And, yeah, I should have been clearer.
Either way, I still don't see video over USB C as apropriate for the Pi. There are many more HDMI/DVI screens about than there are USB C ones so the end result for many would be needing a different adapter (likely one with PD pass through). Or a new monitor which further increases the cost of by in.
